Open form from another site inside our website

[ametraven]

Good day all -

We are using an outside registration system for an upcoming meeting. I would like to open the url inside of our website's look. So the header, bottom and page background make the other companies page look as if it's ours - even though it's another site all together.

I've seen some sites do this About.com - at leat the top has a frame.

I've tried to open the page in the parent window but it didn't work.
Any advice?

You could copy the HTML for their form, insert it into your page, and pass the form on to the same processor that they use.

Some sites will not allow this, but some will, you'll just have to give it a try.

Otherwise you could possibly use an Iframe or something simillar to atleast have your design show up, but, again, some sites don't allow this.

If using frames, I like to just put the target as the name of the frame from the framset.

Be sure to ask permission before taking parts of the other website.

I might be able to help some.

Forgive me but I am new to the forum and a bit nervous!

You could use AJAX to load the form into your page at the click of a button. I have a demo on my website that might be of some use.

try the article http://www.areyoureadingthis.com/article/id_blg/60/ to see how I used AJAX to load into a div.

I used to use frames but I could never get them to make the site look like I wanted it to so switched to divs.

I might be way off the mark but you might find the answer you are looking for. Let me know how you get on.

Thanks so much for your help! I ended up using an IFrame and it's opening well. Only problem now is that the other site's page is a bit wide so people have to scroll left and right - instead of just up and down.
