Question

i’m looking for a way to display a web page inside a div of other web page.
i can fetch the the webpage with CURL, but since it has an external stylesheet when i try to display it, it appears without all his style properties.
i remember facebook used this technique with shared links (you used to see the page that was linked with a facebook header)
did some unsuccessful jquery tests but I’m pretty much clueless about how to continue..
i know this can be done with frames but i always here that it’s good practice to avoid frames so i’m a bit confused
any ideas how to work this out?

Answer 1

If you want to display the other website’s contents exactly as they are rendered in that site then frames are, in this case, the best (easiest) way to go.

Facebook and Google both use this technique to display pages while maintaining their branding / navigation bar above the other site.
