| HelloI have a page that is used to enter data onto my database. The problem I have is this - the users need to enter a code which they quite often won't know, but is available on another website which they can search. To make life easier for them I was wondering if I could display some of this site on my page so that the users can simply copy and paste as appropriate. An Iframe would be ideal but I can find no way of changing the source for this programatically. Ideally I don't want an extra window or a popup and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions. I'd like to use the current text boxes to search the website and show the results so that they can just be copied. Does anyone have any ideas/suggestions on how this may be accomplished?thankssteveAlright Brain, you don't like me, and I don't like you. But lets just do this, and I can get back to killing you with beer. |

| You MAY be able to programatically change the Iframe destination with some rendered javascript....I'm not sure if the security stuff will let you do that though...Michael<Yoda>Use the Search page you must. Find the answer you will. Cursors, path to the Dark Side they are. Avoid them, you must. Use Order By NewID() to get a random record you will.</Yoda> |

if it's just one website you don't even need to change the destination.Go with the flow & have fun! Else fight the flow  |

| Can you "scrape" the other site and save them having to cut&paste it at all? (I'm sure you would have thought of that if it was doable, so sorry if granny+eggs)Kristen |

| Hi Kristen, I had thought of that but I wasn't sure it was worth the effort to locate the bits I need. Maybe I should take another look at itthanks guyssteveFacts are meaningless. You could use facts to prove anything that's even remotely true! |

| You definitely can use JavaScript as Michael suggests, I do this all the time (but not in .Net). Something like:-Create an IFRAME <iframe src="mysite.aspx" name="site" id="site"></iframe>, MAKE SURE it has the Name attribute set-Attach a JavaScript code block to your page, or simply include it somewhere in the ASPX code, containing the following:<script language="JavaScript">function changesite() { window.frames["site"].location="myOtherSite.aspx"; }</script>You can also use JavaScript to pass info between the two pages (if they're on the same web domain) but the pages have to be written a certain way. |
