html question
 

What is the best way to load a url below a header, I can't use frames because they have a frame breakout script. I was thinking of using a layer, but never did that before.

How would I do it?

thanks

I have no idea what you are talking about but CSS works wonders. Good luck :)

Ok for example, lets say I have html code taking up 25% of the top part of the screen in a regular html document.

The 75% of the rest of the screen , I need to load another url using a layer, I tried using the src but it doesn't seem to load..

Do I create the layer below, and then use javascript to load the remote url into the layer?

I think...
 

I think I found the answer... reading this now.

I've never seen or heard of a file being loaded into a layer - I think it's a document object (like a <TABLE>) which prevents that.

If you are trying to load a URL into a page and the page you are loading doesn't want to be in a frame (hence, the breakout script), you might try adding an IFRAME of a 2-frame layout page with theirs in the bottom. Make the 2nd frame 100% and see if their page pops into the IFRAME or breaks it entirely.

<IFRAME SRC="iframe.html"></IFRAME>

iframe.html contains 2 frames:
top.html
[their page].html


Hope that kind of makes sense.

If it doesn't work you may try a JS timeout that changes the TARGET of the IFRAME after a few seconds. I'd have to fish for some code I used once to do something similar...

hmm...
 

that seems kinda jerry rigged..

Theres gotta be a way to load a remote url with a layer.

if the URL is on the same server as the page you're editing, use PHP...

if it is on the same domain, you can do an SSI include

good call, hadn't thought of that.

If you figure it out in pure html, please post it.

If I am reading your request right, it can be done in any scripting language.

its on a remote server...

it can be done because I see it all the time..
