Hello everyone, this is my first post!

Well I'm gonna make it short.

I have an html editor in the backoffice of my site and I tried to insert an iframe in it. Unfortunately the latter could not read it. I tried, Ilayer and even object to include the page but still no result.

So, I wondered if anyone knew how to include a page into another, without the use of Iframe, Ilayer or Object. Only html please because we are talking about an html editor.

Many thanks!

In that case your only option is -


Ctrl + C followed by Ctrl + V

Works every time

There is nothing stopping you from using an HTML editor to write server-side code, which is what you need here.

Many HTML editors have trouble displaying iFrames in WYSIWYG mode, but if you edit the source directly you should be able to put those tags in just fine.

<iframe src="/path/to/file.html" height="200" width="250">content for browsers that don't support iframes goes between the tags</iframe>

It may not display in your editor, but as long as you can put the HTML in, then it should display just fine in a web browser... which is what really matters.

Another approach you could take without using an iframe or ilayer tag is to use a <div> and a bit of PHP (you would have to rename the file you're editing to have a .php extension), for example:

<div style="height:200px;width:250px;overflow:scroll"><?php include '/path/to/file.html'; ?></div>

The height and width in each example can be changed to whatever you like, they're just for the sake of illustration. You may also want to check out an HTML reference for the other attributes supported by the iFrame tag so you can control things like borders, padding, margins, etc.
