Hey DrNic,

Dude, that was an awesome article (usually I get so much from your posts), that absolutely misled me. In reality it can be done in a very simple way without getting away from rails’s format and getting in to other technologies. I created a page on my wiki that shows u how to do they same thing using pure rails with js just for the presentation.

I dont really get how to get dynamic data from a php script…. are u saying that
the CONTENT_URL can link to a php file, I thought it was only a javascript file that was linkable toooo

function requestContent( local ) {
var script = document.createElement(’script’);
script.src = CONTENT_URL;
// IE7 doesn’t like this: document.body.appendChild(script);
// Instead use:
document.getElementsByTagName(’head’)[0].appendChild(script);
}

@Bill [via] - you’d need to rebuild the foreign site within the target site I think

Dr. Nic—have you thought much about the other way ’round, i.e. embedding another site into my site. I’m looking at Dapper.net which does that. Is there a ready-made widget to do that browser-within-a-browser thing. Frames is out because I’d like my app to “see” into the embedded document. I’d at least like to see the location.href of the embedded doc so I could follow where the navigation goes.

Dr Nic, adsense use a pre indexed version of a page so google only need to serve a pre made iframe on demand, the scenario you suggest is different. here we can interact with the data and do everything ajax does on our own site through a widget/badge on a 3d site.

how does other widgets implement interactivity when embedded into 3d part sites? except flash and XSS isn’t there another option?

[...] Wearing a practical hat for a while, maybe I should ask if you had a look/view/etc. regarding XSS @ all?? [...]

Dude, you rock. In like 2 minutes I bookmarked your blog. In your tagline: “Javascript makes Ajax” — you know how many times I’ve heard people say they program //in// Ajax?

And then: “Wikipedia is for 15 year olds who are too lazy to research their own essays.” So true.

Awesome.
