Copy text from one webpage to another. 1

[MrMajik]

How can I pull text from one webpage into my webpage. There is a page that contains a daily Bible scripture that is available for free and changes daily. How can I get this text into a table cell on my webpage?

If this is not the correct forum for this question please advise which forum to post it in.

Thank you.

Sorry about the duplicate post. Did not think the first one went.

Thank you.

You could use IFrames, Frames, SSI or Client Side Includes, do you have a preference ?

 

[MrMajik]

ggriffit; No preference. Even java would be ok. Is there much difference between the three?

Thank you.

Not really,

Frames force you to have seperate pages or panes in your content, so if your included text is going to be a header or a footer then this may work. For an example see

http://www.open.ac.uk/frames.html

IFrames work in the same way but can be embedded within a page. see

http://www.htmlite.com/lite021.php

for an example

Server Side Includes (SSI) are processed on the sever and the content is added replacing the call to the included file, but not all web hosts support them. see

http://www.smartwebby.com/web_site_design/server_side_includes.asp

for more information.

Javascript Client Side includes work in the same way as SSI, but these are done on the client side rather than the server side. see

http://www.quotationspage.com/yourpage.html

for an example, although you don't have to use a .JS file you can use almost any file and have it included see

http://www.corky.net/dotan/programming/feed/feed.html

for an example.

I am also a member of a Christian Web Developers group (

and I am sure that many of them have already completed a similar task and may be able to provide a complete solution for you.

ggriffit,

Thank you for all the links. After looking at all of them I went with iframe. There is only one issue I can't resolve with it.

Go to

You will see the daily Word at the top of the page. However, when you click the link at the bottom of the Scripture the link opens in the iframe. Any ideas how to correct this?

Thank you.
