I thought I had heard of this, but can't seem to find any info: I want to insert one web page into another, instead of just creating a link. So, for example, can I insert boston.com into jessweiss.com so that the branding info for jessweiss.com shows around the boston.com page? Am I expressing this right? I think you frequently see this in pages by about.com...

TIA!

I think what you need to learn about are "server side includes" which can be added using PHP or SSI, and are typically used for headers/footers and so on.

SSI tips - http://www.outfront.net/tutorials_02.../includes2.htm
PHP tips - http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_includes.asp

or a more simple way would be to use iframes (but unless u linked to the page in the iframe it wont be indexed when you site is inedexed if you know what i mean) i would use this if u use html and <?php include ('http://site.com'); ?> if you use php...

I think what you're looking for is a frame although they are normally highly discouraged if you're using them for navigation purposes (around your own site) but seems you want to display somebody else's page on yours which from my point of view would be more of an iframe than a serverside include..... what you want is something like this....also understand i'm using a basic table for simplicity...

<table border="0" padding="0">
<tr>
 <td>
 <a href=http://www.google.com target="main"> google </a><br>
 <a href=http://www.boston.com target="main"> Boston.com </a><br>
 <a href="./home.html" target="main"> home </a>
 </td>
 <td>
  <iframe name="main" src="home.html" frameborder="no" height="600" width="700"></iframe>
 </td>
</tr>
</table>

hopefully this helps you out

As always, guys - you are the best!

also if u want you can make a page in php so that it takes the source from the url so site.com/iframe.php?site-www.google.com the script would display google.com in the iframe

and if u went to site.com/iframe.php?site=www.bbc.co.uk it would display bbc in iframe

dunno if u would use this if u would PM me or somin and ill post the script.

No need to use iframes.. can be done w/o them or includes:

That's the easiest and best way to do it

I often use <?php include ("site"); ?> in php

Hope it helps

i lookd at that link and i think i might start using that for a few things. i supose the problem with then is (unlike the php include) it shows the <object etc tags wand the actual location of that content.

not good if you dont want the to be able to view the source.
