AJAX Includes

Wayn0r · 24 Jun 2009 at 23:33

Hi guys;

Im trying to load an external page (autotrader dealer page) inside a div on a site im building. I want to use ajax as iframes are no longer part of the HTML standard.

Ive got this script:

http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex17/ajaxincludes.htm

working for files that are on the server.

Anyone know how I would go about editing that to load a page from an external site instead of rootdomain+ ?

thanks for any help

I believe due to potential security issues, Ajax can only be used on local files.

Won't you also get warning messages about content from multiple sites.

ive resorted to using an iframe for now.

The script works a treat for internal pages (pages on the same server).

I can see why it would be a security issue however.

This feature is available in the Telerik Ajax controls (http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/window/examples/radwindowandmdi/defaultcs.aspx) so it must be possible.
