inner.html - possibly!! 3

[nickdel]

Guys, looking for more of a solution here. What I have is this:

http://www.nicksplaysite.co.uk/360 virtual tour.htm

This as you will see is split into 2 frames. the top being a local header menu and the other points to this site:

http://www.albavirtualtours.co.uk/1011glenbeag/tourviewer_glenbeag.html

is there anyway javascript method that would allow me to show this in a div on just one page and eliminate the need for frames as it looks a bit naff!

Thank

Nick

You could load the other page in an iframe 1 x 1 pixel in size, then read the iframe with Javascript and parse the HTML into what you want and stick that in a div on the page.

Nick,

I would say no. But I'm not entirely sure though. Considered an iframe? Still frames, but maybe a better way still...

A server side script would help you if you've got that option.

The iframe would be small enough that it wouldn't display (not sure if you can make it 0 x 0 pixels), just something to stick the other page's HTML in.

I agree that server-side scripting is the best way, and those who have browser scripting disabled wouldn't be able to see the things written to the page with Javascript.

What a great and creative idea, Lee! That's gone right into my cook-book-o-tricks now ;-)

Have a star!

How about styling the iframe with display:none; then it's "gone" from the viewport, but still accible for leaching the html.

I don't think you can read the hidden frame source with Javascript, so it would best be done with server-side scripting.

Meant to elaborate on that. Since the src of the frame is from another domain, the parent page being able to read that would create security issues.
