embed website on website?

[Brandon]

im doing a website for my boy scout troop, and for the badge page, we want who is doing the badge, who is teaching the badge, and links to the requirments of the badge... those requirements are on another site. how can i embed that site into the page im making so it would appear to be in my site?

frames

[bangbang023 Veteran]

iframe would actually be a little better.

Or an IFRAME.

EDIT: nevermind, ^ he got it. So my post isn't pointless then you could also do an <INCLUDE ="blabla.html"> method, but that's just stupid.

Normal frames are used to divide the entire browser window (or a frame) to subwindows. Inline frames appear inside the presentation of a document much the same way as images are: the browser allocates some space for an inline frame and takes this into account when rendering the document. This means, in particular, that an inline frame as a whole scrolls along with the rest of the document, so it might be scrolled away. Whether this is positive or negative depends on the aims and nature of the page. (An inline frame usually has its own internal scroll bar too, for scrolling its own content.)

These features make inline frames an interesting possibility especially for embedding relatively small documents onto pages. On the other hand, as explained above, browser support to iframe is limited, more limited than for normal frames.

On the other hand, normal frames are usually resizable by the user, though the author might manage to prevent this (using the noresize attribute). Inline frames are not resizable any more than e.g. a table is, except in the sense that if the width or height is specified as a percentage, the actual width or height may change when the entire window is resized.

<iframe frameborder="0" border=0 width="800" height=600

src="index.html" name=iframe scrolling=yes

style="position:absolute;" allowtransparency="true"></iframe>

I have never heard that one, but ok llbbl. (I don't think you are right).

Anyways, you could use PHP to do that same thing without all the problems.

becareful with iframes. there are known vulerabilities to them that allow hackers to get access to your PC.

so its patched already? nothing to worry about then...

i would use iframe myself too

ive never heard of <INCLUDE="page.html"> :huh:

are you thinking of PHP includes?

im not sure if you can 'include' a remote page..

[sublunary]

or, if you feel amibtious, you can do it with php. put

<?php include("otherpage.php"); ?>

where you want the page to go. (but you have to have php

installed)

[syko7ik]

You can do includes with php, asp etc but unless you have these on your server then its no good and an iFrame is just as good for this purpose.

Llbbl, shut me up if I'm wrong but , the vulnerability you were talking about is a "malicious" person using iFrames on their site to disrupt the user's pc. So unless Caveman017 is a malicious serial boy scout "inconveniencer", I think it's safe to use iFrames. Besides it would be the server getting hacked not him (unless he was hosting it himself).
