xProteuSx Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 I have no idea where to start, and this forum is so phenomenal, so it was a natural place to ask ... I would like to write a script. Here's the idea: I would like my website visitors to be able to go to my webpage and get code for an application that retrieves information from one of my databases. They can then take this code, and embed it on their site, and the retrieved information is displayed on their website. My idea is not ad related, but Adsense is a good example, I think. You get your code, which fetches ads from Google and displays them on your website. I believe that they do it with JavaScript. Where do I start? Thanks folks.

RichardRotterdam Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 Sound's more like an API of some sort. Doesn't have to be javascript specifically but it could be. An applet is something you do with Java btw and has nothing todo with javascript Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/246320-javascript-applet-how-to/#findComment-1265047 Share on other sites More sharing options...
xProteuSx Posted September 3, 2011 Author Share Posted September 3, 2011 API ... already Googling it Any ideas on where I could get a good start?

nogray Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 The easiest way to do it this is by iframe. Create a script that will write an iframe with a URL to your page.

xProteuSx Posted September 4, 2011 Author Share Posted September 4, 2011 I was always under the impression that an iframe was a huge programming no-no. At least that's what it used to be many years ago ...

nogray Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 iframe a no-no?? Well, all third party ads (including adsense) are using iframes, facebook apps use iframe, HTML editors in a browser use iframe. Iframe are secure and isolated from third party websites.
