Hi,

Bare with me, Im trying to create a webpage (eg = [something.co.uk](http://something.co.uk)) that contains a window, showing content located in a seperate URL ([something.com](http://something.com))

The reason for this is so the the browser shows the original URL (.co.uk) but displays content from another URL (.com)

How would I go about doing this. Im not sure at all where to begin researching.

Any help would be invaluable…

iframes  
ajax

or frames (but i’d advise against this)

another way to do it which would probably be a better way but is prolly the more difficult of all of them is scraping the site that you want into a buffer and then spitting it back out.

cool cheers, exactly what Im looking for.

the iframes seem like the way to go, but why would you advise against using them?
