site within site?

2005-08-04

Okay...If I want to link another site to my site, but I don't want people to leave my site when they navigate to the new site...how do I get it to open within my site...with my links and banners and such...I've seen this effect on other sites...like ask jeeves does it. google does it...what is this called and how does it work? I believe that this is the final piece to my puzzle and will make my website truly professional looking. Any help?

use the getURL method in the following manner

getURL("http://www.mydomain.com", "_self");

This will open a link within the current frame of the active window.

Hope this helps

I think he wants to a) Use HTML and b) not link to another website, display the website inside his, StreamerDA.

In this case I would either use a frame or iframe. There's loads od documentation on both these on both Google and Ultrashock.

Aaah!!! Well anyway now you can do it in flash and html!!!!

Your method would load the other site within the same browser window, but his site would not show up like on the examples he gave.
I don't think you can mimic frames in Flash, yet.

be sure to have written permission from the organization / site you wish to display within yours. at my last company we were attempting to display the 'download flash player' page w/in a frame of an online app we were developing and macromedia would not allow us to do this (believe it or not).

wierd...you would think they would love for someone to do this!
Basicaly it's a forum that I can't actually build in freeway and need to host as a page outside of the site...I just want the site to be seemless...you know?

Correct. You can get into legal issues doing this.
