Inline Frames... thing of the past? - GoFuckYourself.com

Rique · 04-21-2008, 09:14 PM

I am re designing my site and was thinking of throwing in an inline frame within the tour, but I haven't seen many sites using inline frames these days (Biggest issue is they're not compatible with some browsers). So the question... are inline frames a thing of the past? If so, what's the newest alternative to them?

subc · 04-21-2008, 09:23 PM

php include? just a thought.

inline frames still have their uses. if it serves it's purpose for what you need to do with it, go ahead and use them. i see iframes put to use on alot of tours still......

Php includes, now why didn't I think of that. I'll check on that, thanks.

IsmokeBlunts, yeah I do agree with you there. I have seen some tours use them, mostly for purposes of the blog updates and such. I've used them in the past, just wasn't aware if there was something 'newer' (apparently there is, php includes) or not.

Thanks fellas.

Google gadets almost exclusively use iframes.

They're in more use then ever, just harder to see as the borders are CSS'ed off.

Firefox supports them altho it's CSS is sketchy.

I see them on programming API documentation sites all the time but don't recommend them for most stuff.

Downside of PHP includes:
#1 - They'll stall your page if they don't load
#2 - They'll error your page if the source / remote file fucks up
#3 - They can exploit your box in a heartbeat.

Upside of PHP/SSI Includes
#1 They stall your page, so you can keep surfers at the top looking at ads while the server puts the rest together :-D

I fail to see how unless you are doing <? include($_GET[file]); ?>

How are php includes a security risk?
If that was the case, every site out there that uses php would be hacked right now.

markz08 · 04-22-2008, 04:56 AM

I suggest not to try frames because they're not search engine friendly.

Rique · 04-22-2008, 08:49 AM

Dammit! I can't seem to get a freakin' inline frame inside a table. I know inlines supercede the body, but I used to be able to do it not too long ago. Now I try and it throws the entire table out of sync. Any ideas?

Exactly, I actually had a couple of worried people message me this thread. If you include a remote file on another server, you get the contents of the output buffer from the other server, not the code itself.

Meaning, if you do <? echo file_get_contents('/etc/passwd'); ?> (assuming the other server even has the openbasedir restrictions set wrong enough to allow for that...) you would get the other servers stuff, not your own.
