I want to embed an .asp page on an html page. I cannot use an iframe. I tried:
<object width="100%" height="1500" type="text/html" data="url.asp">
alt : url
</object>"
works great in ff but not ie7. Any ideas? Is it possible to use the object tag to embed .asp pages for IE or does it only work in ff?
I've solved it in the past using Javascript and XMLHttp. It can get a bit hacky depending on the circumstances. In particular, you have to watch out for the inner page failing and how it affects/downgrades the outer one (hopefully you can keep it downgrading elegantly).
Search for XMLHttp (or check this great tutorial) and request the "child" page from the outer one, rendering the HTML you need. Preferably you can get just the specific data you need and process it in Javascript.
You might be able to fake it using javascript. You could either use AJAX to load the page, then insert the HTML, or load "url.asp" in a hidden iframe and copy the HTML from there.
One downside (or maybe this is what you want) is that the pages aren't completely independent, so CSS rules from the outer page will affect the embedded page.
Well, after searching around and testing I don't think it is possible. It looks to me like IE does not allow the object tag access to a resource that is not on the same domain as the parent. It would have worked for me if the content I was trying to pull in was on same domain but it wasn't. If anyone could confirm my interpretation of this it would be appreciated.

I would like to add a page(a market watch ticker) from other website which is given by client using iframe. but its color not matching my website. how to match it. is there any way to match it??please help?
You can get the iFrame to inherit the parents CSS and javascript see this question:
Iframe inherit from parent
But you need access to the iFrame markup to do this, otherwise I believe it is not possible (and probably shouldn't be for other reasons like security etc.)
I had a video that stopped being controllable when I appended a safety feature: I added
"&origin=http://mydomain.com" to the attributes of the iframe that had the video. (By not controllable I mean that the youtube api stopped working). So I decided to use the "sandbox" feature, which is also for security.
Unfortunately, it works too well - it blocks content too.
So if all I want to do is prevent the iframe from causing mischief, but I also want to play third party videos, should I use:
sandbox=""
or
sandbox="allow-same-origin"
I don't quite understand it from the W3schools description.
Thanks,
You should be able to set the origin= parameter on the URL that you include as the src= for your iframe tag.
One thing to try is URL escaping the :// characters in the parameter's value, e.g. origin=http%3A%2F%2F//mydomain.com. Does that help? If so, we'll get the example updated to reflect the need to escape.
If that doesn't help, could you please provide the full iframe tag, including all the attributes and their values, that you're using?
origin only works on html pages, not on asp.net pages. I tested it.
If I have and iframe in html page, and within that iframe I need to remove a img tag.
Is it possible to manipulate contents of iframe that loads an external site?
cheers
native security in browsers makes this quite difficult, but it can be done with cross domain messaging; take a look at this library : used it many times; it simply works
I'm trying to display several pages (ex.: google.com, yahoo.com ...) on one page. I'm pulling the html of those pages using cURL multi, and then showing all the results on one page for me to see. The problem is that the first page's css messes up all the lower page's css.
Ex.: Yahoo is the first page and has a pretty diverse CSS styling, the next is MSN, which overrides most CSS, but not all of it, and it looks weird.
Any solutions? Thanks
As much as I hate it, but using iFrames is perhaps the quickest way you can do this.
The better option is the harder one where you would add prefix in your styles or classes in the ones that don't have.
So if the first site defines H1 and then the second site defines H1 differently, you would do H1.firstsite and then H1.secondsite, etc and then in the HTML add class to all H1 tag's.
To be on the safe side, do the similar manipulation to all classes/Ids as well, that way there is no chance of conflict.
PS: Some content may not be shown in an iframe.
you have to use this..
<iframe src="http://www.google.com" width="600px" frameborder="0px"></iframe>
<iframe src="http://www.yahoo.com" width="600px" frameborder="0px"></iframe>
<iframe src="http://www.bin.com" width="600px" frameborder="0px"></iframe>
I suggest using iFrames to load separate pages (or a single page with different query strings) where the content retrieved with cURL. Basically split the cURL operations and access them with iFrames.
That's the simplest and most straight-forward way I see, with least amount of changes to the work you have already done.
how can i get url of the website which is in iframe, when i click on any links in website in iframe it is redirect to another page in the iframe then how can i get the page url.
can u help me. thank you.
You can use jquery to make it easier:
alert($("#iframeid").attr("src"));
You can also use jquery contents() to retrieve or manipulate any tags inside that iframe. example:
$("#iframeid").contents().find("a").css("background-color","red").end().find("title").text();
Unfortunately, you don't really have much control over an Iframe once it loads. I think pretty much the only thing you have control over is the ability to reload it with a new URL programatically.
If the page loaded by the Iframe is part of your website (not 3rd party), you can process the request server-side.
From javascript? If you can run some JS inside the iframe:
alert(document.location.href);
If you can't - need to get a reference to the iframe in question:
IE:
alert(document.getElementById(iframeId).contentWindow.document.location.href);
FF, Safari, Chrome, etc:
alert(document.getElementById(iframeId).contentDocument.location.href);
As mentioned - you wont be able to do this if the URL that is loaded is not from the same domain as your website.
