Joomla menu item with no article

Hi Experts,

I would like to use an iFrame to encapsulate another page in Joomla.  I can do the iFrame and it works fine.  I don't want to use an artcile body to host the iframe.  I can use the wrapper module and that works well.  Here is the problem:

Since I don't have an article how can connect the menu item to the page that has the iFrame in a module?  I mean, the page doesn't really exist it seems unless there is an article.  And I don't want to use an article.  Put another way, how can I create a module based Joomla page without an article?

Thanks,

HNM

Is there any way you can get the page to show up in your browser?

If you can, then one of the menu options is to link to a URL instead of an article.  i.e. http://www.yourwebsite.com/thepagewiththeiframe.html

Is that possible in your case?

Joomla_php, thanks for the info... when I create the article Joomla insists that it can't be empty.  Can you explain what you mean by a 'blank' paragraph?  An empty set of <p> tags?

Thanks,

Thanks,  empty article worked.  Didn't before but works now.

Probably just hitting the return key in the wysiwyg editor -- underneath that produces just enough "empty" html to keep the editor from thinking there's nothing there.
thanks
Great tip!  Thanks!  I'll use it too!
