I'm working on a little something at the mo that requires content to be loaded directly into the browser window.

I spoke to a developer who said he would do it for me (as a mate) for £100, but would normally charge £300.

He said he would do it with xml and xsl, which is the point I turned off. Then he said it would load into a hidden iframe which would then display the content elsewhere.

He says there is no other way that he knows of that will work effectively.

I said I would get the piss taken out of me for using iframes, but does that sound right?

( I need text and images to be loaded once a hyperlink is clicked and format as I want it to....and its needs to be siiiiiiiiimple)

you can do it with a bit of javascript, will forward code if u like

[emil]

you mean something like
http://conceptart.org/

if you click on the sponsors and about links you'll see some hidden layers display...

[Narate]

please, does it come with a "javascript for dummies" book?

[Narate]

Aye, something like that, but of course mine has no nasty tables

[Stickman]

Or you could use ajax.

Iframes. Yes /No ?

[Narate]

cheers, il read up. Wanting to do it without MSQL, too complicated for me that.

[Stickman]

Was that to me?

You don't need a database to make use of ajax. Its just a client-side script requesting data from the server with no refresh.

[Narate]

written in JavaScript and usually tucked away in a hidden frame

AJAX sounds very similar to what this guy wants to make.

[Stickman]

What's he need frames for then?

[Stickman]

Give me £100 and I'll do it properly.


Edit: not really.

Found some demo kit

<?php
ob_start();
print_r($_POST);
$postdata = ob_get_clean();

ob_start();
print_r($_GET);
$getdata = ob_get_clean();

ob_start();
print_r($_SERVER);
$serverdata = ob_get_clean();

$string = "<p>The following data was recieved:</p>\n<table id=\"demo\">\n<thead><tr><th>POST data</th><th>GET data</th></tr></thead>\n<tr><td>$postdata</td><td>$getdata</td></tr>\n</table>\n";
echo $string;
?>

looks like a bag of warm doughnuts that

Show / hide scripts are great, but narate said he wants the content to load into the browser. With those types of script, the content is loaded in all at once and then the visibility of certain bits is controlled via javascript.

[emil]

aye sorry. my mistake

[Narate]

Just need a snazzzier version of this http://www.alistapart.com/articles/imagegallery that will load text as well as the image.
