External Page Content w/o IFRAME's or SSI's

[bpvwebdesigns]

Hello,

I am looking to insert another page, completely into a template page of mine.

I have created a demo of what I want with an IFRAME tag, which is what I am trying to avoid doing.

LINK :

I want the page to dynamically resize to the content and insert the headers and footers on to it kind of like what is demonstrated.

I would like to avoid using a cgi, perl, or asp script if possible.

Any input is greatly regarded,
Thank you in advance or you time, ___________________________________________________

Hi,

did you try an object tag?


<object data=&quot;page.html&quot; width=&quot;?%&quot; height=&quot;?%&quot; type=&quot;text/x-scriptlet&quot;>
</object>

What about PHP? ;-) I don't think what you want is possible without iframes or SSI. Then again, I use SSI for all my stuff, so maybe I'm wrong. If you can use php, then it is really easy:

<?php include(&quot;page.html&quot; ?>

Hi guys,

I might be wrong in my understanding of what you are trying to do but if I am right then you cannot possibly use SSI or PHP etc to do it, it would need to be an object tag or frame.

Hope this helps Wullie

Yeah, it would be a big mess if you tried to include files from a different server with SSI.

You might consider taking off the default scrollbar and then letting the iframe scroll? At least for that page?

Hello again,

I used to remember the tag to remove the default scroll bar, but now I don't.

Can you please post the code you are talking about?

As for PHP, I know that there is a method possible with that, but I am trying to avoid using any server-side languages.

As for the object tag, I tried that and it won't meet the needs I am looking for.

Again any ideas are welcomed.

Thanks again, ___________________________________________________

Brian,

Stupid question but why are you trying to avoid server side languages?

If you need to do something and it can be done on the server or client side, then use the server side method as it will be more reliable for the different set-ups that your visitors may have.

Hope this helps Wullie
