Embedded pages in coldfusion using cflocation

[countdrak]

Hi,

Does anyone know how I can use an embedded window in my orginal window using cflocation. Is it even possible?

Ok I am gonna be more elaborate. I am trying to cflocate to a new page, but I dont want the new page to show up in the same window, I want the new page to be embedded in my original page. Anyone know how I can accomplish this either with cflocation or some other tag.

Thanks.

imbeded? you mean you want the results in the original page or you want to use an i-frame?

either way No it's not as easy as just using CF location

I have never used an i-frame. I want the results in my original page so say my orginal page is /index.cfm

If I cflocate to

http://www.google.com

I wanna show google.com embedded in my index.cfm. So I see both pages but one inside the other (google.com inside index.cfm)

Ok so its not easy. Whats the hard way of doing it? Any ideas. Thanks

Did you try cfinclude?

you want to cfinclude google.com? what he's describing is a frame behavior and this thread is 9 months old.

And, actually, cfhttp is probably what he wanted. (-:

use cfhttp to get the google page and stick it in a scrolling div... yeah that would work as long as it's a page that doesn't have any interaction. Images maybe...

Only problem is any links or form submissions would make the user leave the "host" website. An I-frame would maintain the window.

Not only that, but if you try to include a page like bbc.uk, there's Javascript that whacks your frame and reloads the requested page into the parent. Not exactly what you'd intend.
