An HTML question, shouldn't be too hard (hopefully)

[Polishwonder74]

Hopefully you geniuses will know how to crack this nut.

I'm not terribly well versed in html, I'm a 100% self-taught dude, so this is gonna sound like a total n00b question. Here's what I'm trying to do: I want to display content from another html file within an html page. Specifically, what I've got going on here is I just grabbed this neat little program for Winamp What's Playing that creates an html page while you're listening to music that posts what songs you're listening to. I'm having it save its html document onto my other computer that's serving webcam and files. So what I don't know is exactly how I'd display a tiny little html file inside of my current index.html on my website (perhaps inside of a table or something like that) without using a big, nasty frameset. To be honest, I don't know if a frameset is even an option, I've never seen one that is like a page with a rectangular hole in it where the other page sits.

This whole thing probably wouldn't be too bad at all if I knew other languages than just html, but I'm too much of a giant n00b I guess. Hell, I can't even make my own javascripts, I have to borrow them from other people. So does anyone have any groovy ideas that might help me out?

Thanks for your time, fellas! :beer:

It can be done using frames, but I don't encourage it..

If your webhost has any kind of scripting language (PHP, ASP.net etc), you can do something like <?php include("winampplaylist.html") ?> (at least in PHP) and put it in a div (then position using CSS) or a table cell within your website.

Crap. As far as I know, I can't use any nice PHP, ASP, etc. on my webserver. I don't even think I can use cgi. Thanks for the suggestion though, I appreciate it.

Someday when I get outta school I'll have my own webhost.

Just so that you know, you can have your own domain and webhost for pretty cheap these days (about $20-30 per year). Try running a search for "hosting" or "webhosting" on AT 🙂

You can use an iframe to do that.
