Howdidoodi,

I am a relative beginner and dont know if this is possible...but here goes...

I can display e.g www.weatherchannel.com inside a table on my site using

<?php include("http://oap.weather.com/fcgi-bin/oap/generate_viewer_int?loc_id=UKXX0925&from=internal&par=internal&site=viewer&code=644097&promo=english");
?>

This is possible as all the images on the page have the full URL to them.

Is there a way of displaying pages where the images have not the full URL.

This is only an example to show what I mean. Its an attempt to get around frames if possible.

Just create a page and put the weather.com stuff into as you normally would with any other images that you have locally then just include that page.

Howdidoodi,

thanks very much for the reply I can see how you can do that but the problem is the page I want to intergrate changes images twice a week ( its the lotto page and I have permission to use it ).

I could use frames top and bottom but the way my site is designed it is only 760 across but the lotto page is 100% so it does not look right. it is also too big to put in a frame intergrated into my page as there is, when using 800 x 600, only 2" to view the frame.

You can put whatever you need to in that seperate page and just include that page into any other page you need it on. You don't need frames. Or am I missing something here?

Howdidoodi,

It will be me not explaining myself correctly.

What I have done actually works with the weather channel as when the include pulls in the html the image paths are written in the code http://www.weatherchannel.com/images/cloud.gif or whatever.

But if I try the same with the lotto page the image paths are written in the code as ./images/ball27.gif but as they are not on my server they will not be displayed. I could copy them and put them in a folder with a similar path but I would have to change them twice a week.

If what you suggest, would not be the case, it is my lack of understanding and knowledge that is the problem.

Thanks for trouble
