BrandonWeb Page Embedding
My web site, http://brandoncornell.com uses a simple PHP include command to make my pages embedded into the template. Another site I run, for school, http://mshs.crcs.wnyric.org/ScottJordan/index.htm, uses inline frames which are old and crappy. The problem is the server at school is Coldfusion which I have no clue how to use, and the tech people won't he happy to give me PHP. So does anyone have a way to do it, without PHP? Maybe using Coldfusion? We need browser compatibility, so keep that in mind.

Yeah I hate how people don't like PHP and go with a Windows server and crappy server software. Coldfusion isn't really hard to learn. It's different but I think you could learn it and get the hang of coding in it. Just go to Planet-Source-Code.com and look up Coldfusion scripts for examples on how to make your own.

I'd just ask them for PHP. It's such a powerful tool (for what it is: free) that it's a bit of a prerequisite for creating rich websites. If [i]they[/i] know what they're doing, they shouldn't have any problems with it.

But one problem I've found with doing something like that is that people can be set in their ways. So they might not trust an open-source product. At work, they only use Microsoft-based products and don't even consider giving a first thought on a 3rd-party program. Most people feel that it'll be a hassle or that they just don't want to use it. Almost like people who use FrontPage to do web design and use ASP written poorly that can be compromised with SQL injection attacks.

BrandonRe:Web Page Embedding
That would be cool. My question is will it work with an old school browser?

normaly , any browser that support html4 will support xml and xsl (in my mind, but i can be wrong) there is the website code [file name=mysite.zip size=825252]http://theguiblog.com/images/fbfiles/files/mysite.zip[/file]
