How do I put part of a webpage inside another page?

[PrayingMantus]

Hi everybody, I need to know how I can put part of a webpage inside another page, similar to the "iframe" tag but not using script.

The iFrame tag doesn't use a script.

If you want the functionality of an iFrame, why not use an iFrame?
(not that I like them.. I'd prefer to use SSI or a PHP include)

Thanks for the reply Foamcow, I would use the iframe if I were allowed but it is for an ebay listing & they will not allow it....."Your listing cannot contain javascript (".cookie", "cookie(", "replace(", IFRAME, META, or includes), cookies or base href".
Do you know any way around this? Maybe give me a bit of code that will work, I would really appreciate it

Depends on what info you need in the window. If you could convert it to a gif or jpg you could just use the <img tag

I've never listed anything on ebay, but from what I've seen it appears you can put standard HTML in.
If that's the case, why not just put the html to create the page you are wanting to include into the ebay listing?

this might be a strech but what about using WGET to download the HTML then include it in a table. you might have to do some parcing of the HTML file but it could work depending the situation.

Thanks guys but the only problem is that I need it to be updated everytime someone sees the page or refreshes the page. In other words I need it to be "live" as the content will be constantly changing.

 

[Foamcow]

Ahh so you want to make 1 page listing and have different things listed on it depending when it's viewed?

Wouldn't that infringe on ebay's 15p per item charge?

When you list an item on eBay, you're charged an Insertion Fee. If the item sells, you are also charged a Final Value Fee. Therefore, the total cost of selling an item is the Insertion Fee plus the Final Value Fee.

For example, if you list an item in an eBay auction-style listing with a starting price of £0.99, and then sell that item to a buyer for £25.00, your total eBay fees will be £1.46 -- £0.15 for the Insertion Fee and £1.31 for the Final Value Fee.

So are you planning on keeping an item "live" to avoid paying multiple fees? I can't see why else you'd have a constantly changing item page.

No, that's not the case. The page I want to embed is in fact my other items that I have listed. These items are located on my "other items page" I have already payed for these listings. the benefit is that the customer would not have to click a link to see this page but instead scroll down to see it. It has nothing to do with the listing because when they click on an item link (in the embedded page) they open up a new listing. More benefit for Ebay than me ripping Ebay off.

Ahh, forgive my assuption then.

I can't think of a way to do it as I don't know ebay.
But to do it the simple way...
I would keep a handy text file on my machine that had the HTML code snippet needed to generate a list of my previous items.
Then when I added a new one, I'd simply copy+paste the code into the new item page.
When I sell an item, I'd update the snippet.
