Another reason to love cyberduck - I've just realised it supports
Amazon S3. S3Fox for Firefox on OS X is fux0red so I was casting
around for an alternative when I realised I already had one :D

(bit unsure about European bucket support though)

Hi chaps,

Whats the best way, using html, to create a small bit of code that will
show another page, from a separate domain, in one of my pages? I want to
show to show pages from thissite.otherdomain.com within a browser, but
give out thispage.mydomain.com as the URL.

Does that make sense ?

Olly

Easy peezy:

Using a scalpel - cut a rectangle out of the laptop monitor- do it
around the webpage where you want the magic to happen.
Get another laptop with the other web page on it and position it
directly behind.

Hey presto.

Sounds like you're after inline frames.

Or, yes, the scalpel method also works.

All looks fine. There's a "Default location option" in Preferences and
you can set Euro or US. w00t.

This makes it fullscreen with no border or scrollbars

<iframe
src ="http://other.domain.com/index.html" height=100% width=100%
scrolling="no" frameborder=0>
</iframe>

I believe there is something you can do with framed redirects at the domain
level, I know 123 reg offer this.

Ace, thanks chaps.

Next, is there a PHP way of doing it so that the user cant get the URL
in the SRC param ?

You can use fopen to get the contents of a page and then dump them out
in the output of your php script.

Something like this to get the content:

For full screen, instead of an IFRAME I think you could just go with with a
frameset with a single frame, this will also keep the user in the frame when
they click links (unless the target page specifically deframes itself) which
I don't think the IFRAME will.

This will 'cloak' the URL (by not changing in the address bar as the user
clicks), but the source code will show the genuine URL.

If you try to hide the URL by pulling the content through your own server
and sending it from there, then for all but the simplest pages you will
probably get into a nightmare scenario with relative and absolute URLs in
the original page having to be fixed up and post backs getting confused...
