I need a page with my header and an external site below. I need the user to be able to navigate the external site below while my header persists. I don’t need to show the URL of that external page.
When the page loads initially I want it to look like one solid page with a text input field, where a URL can be loaded. When the form is submitted I’d like my header to slide up to preset width of say, a height of 100px and load the URL into the are below.
Do I need to use frames, iframe or something else?
I guess I’ll use jQuery to resize the header on click?..
Just trying to understand the process
Yes you could use iframes if you are wanting to display another site on your own website.
Or you could use AJAX (http://api.jquery.com/category/ajax/) to load an external website onto your website.
IFrames would be the easiest to implement.
