I have a javascript that I have modified to allow text to change in a table when you click a link. Here it is.


This is the script in my <HEAD>:
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
var ie = document.all;
var dom = document.getElementById;



function writeInfo(elem, theInfo)
{

document.all[elem].innerHTML = theInfo;

}

// -->
</script>

This is the link:
<a href="index.php" onClick="writeInfo('myData', 'This is where I want to pipe in a different page (ie. http://www.yahoo.com) instead of text.'); return false;">Target Test</a>


This is the target:
<td width=\"100%\" valign=\"top\" bgcolor=\"#FFFFFF\" id=\"myData\">Targeted Table</td>

What I am trying to do is pipe in another page from another server into this table. Is this possible?

Thank you,
Digiman

1) Do not use the TABLE element for layout.

2) Do not rely on JavaScript.

3) Do use the IFRAME element. (http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/present/frames.html#edef-IFRAME).

I do not want to use frames. Is this possible using Tables?

I heard you the first time goober.
I do NOT want to use frames.
I want to know if it is possible to do what I am explaining in my first post is possible.

If you can NOT help, do NOT post.

Thank you,
Digiman I never suggested that you use frames, the IFRAME element for for an inline frame, which is what you must use to incorporate one HTML document into another. If you did manage to do it another way (using SSI and the LWP Perl module, say) then what you would end up with isn't HTML. You would have a HEAD and a BODY element inside of a BODY element. You could also use the OBJECT element for inline frames, but that isn't so well supported.

And if you aren't going to listen to your betters, then why did you post your question in the first place?

Sorry, didn't mean to insult anyone. But your post was vague. And I don't like frames. Unfortunately, my ignorance of IFrames thought that I had to use frames to use the IFrame element. I will look into the IFrame element.

Thank you,

The IFRAME element worked wonderfully other than the scrollbars, but I can turn that off.

Thanks again Charles,
