How can I load html page within page without iframes?

Report · Jan 18, 2018

I have heard that iframes are not supported with some browsers and I am programming also for mobile sites.

I have the need to have a standard page which loads other pages into a sort-of-frame within it.

I do not want to use iframes since it apparently will not work for everyone.

No idea where to start - please can anyone assist me.

I am using Dreamweaver CS6

Thank you in advance

If the content from an iframe is loaded from the same domain, this will ot be rejected.

Have a look at Include another HTML file in a HTML file - Stack Overflow for another way to achieve the same goal. Personally I use PHP includes to do the task, but this requires that you have access to a PHP server.

If the pages are yours and you have access to them (not hosted on someone elses website) and don't want to use a server language like php you could use the jQuery load function to pull the pages in.

How would I get the jquery code to load the section of html code into a div?

Thank you for all feedback.

Have a look at the link in my reply.

<html> <head> <script src="jquery.js"></script> <script> $(function(){ $("#includedContent").load("b.html"); }); </script> </head> <body> <div id="includedContent"></div> </body> </html>

What exactly are you trying to do? You'll get better answers if we understand what the target file contains and what you're hoping to do with it.

For example, if you're tying to add a Facebook feed to your web page, you'll need to begin at the source site.

I have a client with a website for a restaurant.

I want to write an admin page which will store the data in a csv file.

This file then gets used to generate the menu options for the customer (Food Menu)

I want to generate the Food Menu options page as an insert to the complete page.

Ideally I need access to a database but they don't want this - so I am finding workarounds so the admin page will read/store values in a csv and then create the food options in a seperate page which can then be displayed later.

Confused?! So am I!

OK. I would use a PHP script with the fgetcsv() function to bring data into an HTML table.

PHP: fgetcsv - Manual

<?php echo "<html><body><table>\n\n"; $f = fopen("so-csv.csv", "r"); while (($line = fgetcsv($f)) !== false) { echo "<tr>"; foreach ($line as $cell) { echo "<td>" . htmlspecialchars($cell) . "</td>"; } echo "</tr>\n"; } fclose($f); echo "\n</table></body></html>";

Keep in mind the parent page will need a .php file extension and your server must support PHP code.
