Display the contents of a third party website page in a div

[lynxus]

Hi guys,

 

Please help

 

Im trying to display the output of a php file on a normal html page.

 

For instance, i have

index.html with a div, Inside that div i want the page to load data.php from another server and display it in the index.html page.

 

Basically it so data.php generates a normal table with soem data in, I need to insert that table into index.html ( thats on another server )

 

Ive tried <script language="javascript" src="http://blaaa.com/data.php"></script>

 

But nothing happens..

 

Am i doing something wrong? is my .php script outputting the format wrong?

 

 

Thanks

G

<script language="javascript" src="http://blaaa.com/data.php"></script>

 

will do nothing unless data.php outputs valid javascript. <script> runs scripts, as opposed to inserting html files into the page.

 

Have you tried an iframe?

<iframe src="http://blaaa.com/data.php"></iframe>

Humm, ill try an Iframe. Arnt Iframes meant to be dirty lol

 

I suppose i could always get then php script to put it all in a document.write ?

 

Hmmmm lol

Either would work.

 

On the one hand, iframes don't autoscale according to their content, so a document.write might be better. On the other hand, making sure you've escaped quotation marks properly can get rather complicated when you're outputting html through javascript through php.
