Hi. I am using an <iframe> in my page, and i want to use web pages that don't allow iframe use? for instance, i have an online store using miva merchant. miva has a backend administation site (that requires log in) that i want to put in an <iframe>, however the miva page wont load correctly. I assume this has something to do with security, anybody know why this is.

this problem also occured when i used a major cell phone providers website in an iframe.

any help or suggestions will be appreciated.

Why have you asked that here? This is the PHP forum...

Also I am sorry but I know nothing of iFrames (they are bad for your health) and little of MIVA. As a matter of fact I just sold MIVA to a client and set it up and I am never going to sell it again! Not unless a client specifically requests it. :mad:

Lots of sites use JS to prevent their content from being shown in a frame/iframe. If you have access to the source of the admin panel you want to show in the iFrame, you could check for some JS that might do this, and remove it. Otherwise, unless the user has JS disabled, or you can find a counter-script, you're not gonna have any luck.
