Inserting content without using PHP???

[bowww]

is there a way to insert content (ie another html page) into a space in a different html page without using PHP? basically, what i want to do is put this page
http://home.comcast.net/~bargess/index2.php
in the white space of this page
http://home.comcast.net/~bargess/index.php
without using PHP because the server im going to host it on doesnt support PHP.
thanks!

Yes, you just need to use an iframe (http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/present/frames.html#h-16.5).

now heres my next question. can i have an if argument with iframes? basically i want it to react the same as PHP where if /index.php?id=example is in the url, only the example.php page is shown. also, is there a way to have it not get cut off the way it is here:
http://home.comcast.net/~bargess/index.htm
thanks alot

Remove scrolling="no" from the <iframe> tag to allow the iframe to scroll. Also, I'm not entirely sure what you mean by your other question, but you can change the content of the iframe with a link like this:

<a href="someother.htm" target="theiframename">

yea, youll have to excuse my lack of knowledge on this subject. im all self taught and have just been learning as ive gone along and only learned the things that i needed for what i wanted to do.

i do have the scrolling set at "no" and the page still gets cut off. i also have all of the tables/iframe on the page that would be affected set at "100%" for the height. what i want to do works fine with php so im not sure what the problem is with that.

i have used that link code but if i have more than one iframe on the page, both get displayed. i want just one to be displayed by specifying which iframe in the url. not sure if thats possible, this thing is all new to me. thats what i meant with the if argument. like "if "index.htm=example" display "example.htm"" sort of the way it is with php

First of all, this might help you in your understanding of frames: http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_frames.asp

As far as linking goes, just make sure you give each iframe a unique name (such as iframe1 and iframe2 or something more descriptive [perhaps content and links, etc...]).

removing the scrolling command just makes it scroll

thanks alot for your help but this doesnt seem like the easy fix i was hoping for. guess ill just stick with the php that i already have and find a new host

I would always recommend a host that supports PHP... :D

no, no, no... lol

i dont want the iframe to get cut off and i dont want the iframe to scroll... i want the non-iframe part of the page to adjust to the iframe

and i think i have a host for PHP... i hear nothing but good things about influxhost.net plus those one time plans are exactly what im looking for, cheap and that is all the space i need- more than enough actually. ive been alittle worried about being locked in like that but they were highly recommended from a good friend.

i wanted to host this site of mine on the free space i get with comcast but they dont support PHP. i also wanted ad-free

Looking over the hosting plans at http://www.influxhost.net/, I'd have to agree. They look quite nice. Very similar to http://www.dr2.net, which is where I get my hosting through. CPanel 7 is the bomb... :)

ive heard some say plesk is much better than cpanel but i guess thats for another debate
