I have a target-URL (lets say https://www.example.org/xxx/yyy/) which I want to be available from an easier URL, on another domain (lets say https://easy.example.com/). To accomplish that, I use a full page iframe. I think this is the best option, because otherwise it can only be redirected, while I want the easy URL to stay intact.
This works fine, except for the fact that the target-URL has a login-form. Within the iframe, I can not submit the form: it will create a blank page. On the direct target-URL the form works fine of course.
How can I solve this, and display the whole website on my URL, including a working form? Or is this not possible?

I'm not sure if this is possible (I'm not a coder!) but here goes anyway...
The DIV class for the product name on the following page is "productTitle"
https://www.ultimadisplays.co.uk/Alcohol_Hand_Sanitiser_Gel/?categoryId=2147499177&tab=0&subTab=1
I won't bore you with why but the website is very old and limited however we can put a button on each product page which can link to a form. This form is on a completely separate hosted platform.
Is it therefore possible to take the product name over to the new page with the form on it using the DIV class so that when the form is submitted we will know what product they are interested in rather than they have to write it into the form manually?
Thanks in advance!
You can send whatever data you want between different sites or platforms by sending it in GET or POST request either by refreshing page directly or by using AJAX.
I don't think it's a good option just for a form. But you have this possibility nevertheless.
I have made an web page. There are two iframes
In it. First is of index and second one is description page. I want that when I click on the any index hyperlink, then it is displayed on main description page.
How it will be possible? please give me the HTML code
You can use a button and when clicking it, change the url of the iFrame using Javascript like this:
document.getElementById('iframe-id').src = newLink;
You can use the data-attribute to store the wanted link in your html.
In case you want to do that: It is not possible to react to things outside of an iFrame through an iFrame. So you cannot put a link in iFrame1 and have it reload iFrame2, because those are two different websites and don't see each other.
Now, idk what exactly you are planing to do, but I really hope, that you don't want to make your entire site like that. Using iFrames is really only useful for things like inserting widgets (like Codepen etc.), but should never be used to display information from your own site. If you don't want to copy your html for every site then use PHP. If you don't want to reload your entire webpage (which is pretty much never a problem) you can use AJAX-requests to load parts of your website. (Frameworks like React.js, Angular.js and Vue.js do that for you)
This is weird!
I have set up a form using RapidMailer, and on an external site it works fine. (Just to complicate matters, the form is within a <div> as I display a background image, and then use the <div> to position the signup box halfway down the page)
But ...
Put it within an Facebook (Thunderpenny) StaticHTML page, (which I think is <iframe>?) and whilst I can enter name/email, and the submit button shows mouse up/mouse down events, it just won't submit.
I tried adding "pointer-event:auto" to the div so that it was to the fore, but no go. And no good asking the app creator as I doubt I'll get a response. Anyone any ideas? (** I could include page code, but it's 90% links to external js files Rapidmailer sets up)
Is it 'cos I got a <div> within an <iframe>? Do I need to add an <object> to the code somewhere???
It turns out that for some reason, the HTML code cannot find / use the javascripts even with direct URL's. I strongly suspect it's to do with "cross browser" limitations. In otherwords, the StaticHTML <iframe> is on one server, and the HTML code is trying to access javascript on a second server. And as the RapidMailer script is using three scripts direct from jquery.com, it's difficult to know what can be eliminated as they all contain error trapping routines.
In the end, I had to add a direct link to a status update on the Facebook page, and redirect it to the signup form on my blog. I then pinned the post the top. Alas, now for some reason it won't display a graphic with the link, and instead insists on showing the URL itself! Oh well!
If you link to something downloadable with a simple <a href, the user will download the file while staying on the current page. You can get this behavior with files that the browser has no plugin for (like .bin), or by sending a content-disposition header to force downloading.
Is there any method or header which keeps the user on the current page while still requesting the page? The idea is that the user clicks a link, the request is made, but the page doesn't change—like when downloading a file.
This could be done with an iframe I guess, which is not really pretty and makes another request when loading the page. Javascript is another obvious answer, but that's actually the reason for asking this question: compatibility with JS-less clients.
A form with the method set to HEAD is another ugly solution, but doesn't work anyway. Chromium ignores the method and simply performs a GET request...
Anymore ideas?
You could place an iframe on your page that is hidden. Then, give that iframe and id.
Use this id as the target of a link to the file you want to pull down.
I've created a demo at http://jsfiddle.net/dancrumb/N87nL/ to show you how this would work. Just style the iframe as being invisible and you're good to go
The page will load in the iframe, you'll stay on your page, it doesn't require JS. Oh boy!
Note that the iFrame doesn't have an initial value for src, so no request is made on page load.
Hello I'm creating a site at the moment (asp.net mvc) which has a div at the bottom side of the page that works as a messenger.
I would like to find a way to make the site work like facebook's chat. In other words, when a user clicks on a link on the site to load the content on the back however the messenger to stay in tact without loading again.
Will I have to change the site so every page is loaded with an ajax request? Also, I don't want to use iframes.
The only way to have elements to stay on screen from page to page without using iframes to use ajax requests, something like load() if you're uisng jQuery.
Most sites that do it use some variation of hashbangs, so a page can be loaded by directly entering it's url, rather than necessitating a path through other pages.
To do what you propose has fundamental implications to the structure of the entire site, so if this messenger box isn't anything more than a gimmick, I wouldn't bother. I'd even go so far as to say that if you're not sure how you'd do this one thing, you shouldn't be trying to build a site around it.
Well if you dont want your chat to disappear even for a moment with full site refresh, then yes, you have to change your page to ajax loading. It is not such a pain as it looks - for example use jquery to intercept all clicks on anchors, make ajax call to their href, and replace some "all-wrapping" placeholder div with the returned content.. Not very pretty usage of ajax, but it works, and your chat stays in place.
