You can use the iframe method to load URL's from external sites. However you will generally not be able to access the loaded URL (for like feeding into a layer) if is from a different domain.

I trying to develop a crossbrowser code (IE5/6 , NN6) that would load multiple external urls into a number of layers (preloading). Did anyone write before such a code?

Then I will show/hide each layer, according to what I want to see.

since iframe is both nn6 and ie4+ compatible, methods like using <iframe id="url1"></iframe> then via javascript changing it's src to get a new content will work.

just my 0.02? code

code:

<a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="obj=document.getElementById('myIFrame1');obj.style.display=obj.style.display!='none'?'none':''">toggle IFRAME #1 display</a><br>

<a href="javascript:void(0);" target="myIFrame1" onclick="this.href=prompt('enter the new location')">change IFRAME #1 location</a><br>

<iframe id='myIFrame1' name='myIFrame1' border='4'></iframe>

<hr>

<a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="obj=document.getElementById('myIFrame2');obj.style.display=obj.style.display!='none'?'none':''">toggle IFRAME #2 display</a><br>

<a href="javascript:void(0);" target="myIFrame2" onclick="this.href=prompt('enter the new location')">change IFRAME #2 location</a><br>

<iframe id='myIFrame2' name='myIFrame2' border='4'></iframe>

<hr>

<a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="obj=document.getElementById('myIFrameN');obj.style.display=obj.style.display!='none'?'none':''">toggle IFRAME #N display</a><br>

<a href="javascript:void(0);" target="myIFrameN" onclick="this.href=prompt('enter the new location')">change IFRAME #N location</a><br>

<iframe id='myIFrameN' name='myIFrameN' border='4'></iframe>

<hr>
