HTML Frames..

Is it possible to have a frame (or other) on a page where the source is loaded server side, not client side? I'm sure I've seen it done somewhere but can't remember where...

 

wait, what? source is loaded server-side? what, do you mean javascript or something?

 

I'm sure I've seen it done without js.

With a normal frame the page specified in the source attribute is loaded client side.

I want to load the page specified in the source from the web server but embedded in a page, like a frame.

 

You can use css to create a fake iframe:

<style type="text/css">
<!-- 
#fakeiFrame {
	
		width: 295px;
		height: 125px;
		overflow: auto;
		border:1px solid #000000;
		scrollbar-arrow-color: #003878; scrollbar-3dlight-color: #003878;
        scrollbar-highlight-color: #F0F0F0; scrollbar-face-color: #F0F0F0; scrollbar-shadow-color: #F0F0F0;
        scrollbar-darkshadow-color: #003878; scrollbar-track-color: #F0F0F0;
	
}
-->
</style>

HTML:

Then use php to populate the iframe with text from an external file:

<div id="fakeiFrame">
<?php
include('framecontent.php3');
?>
</div>

PHP:

Hope this helps.......
