Alternative to iframe

Post by arpberta »

Is there any alternate to iframe for loading 'external' web sites within another web page.
I was hoping there might be an extension that would work, but I could not find one.

Previously, iframe has worked well when loading 'internal' web pages within another web page.

Thank you.

The only other alternative that I know that is used but a bit more complex is using ajax. Otherwise, I think iframe is still the best option assuming the other site you are loading in the iframe is allowed.

Did you see this:

As an "Alternative" you can use embed <embed></embed>

or object <object></object>

See the following:

Issues with them is the content (the page site inside) size it will display scrollbars if contents is to large to fit as what iframes do.
