I have used iframes to redirect the visitor to a supplier's site. iframes is NOT supported in STRICT. What would be the alternative? I have found OBJECT described alsewhere..

Change the DOCTYPE.... Oh, how often have I heard this advice? Surely, this
is NOT the solution. But a simple, easy, cop out, without paying proper
attention to the problem. I have read somewhere that OBJECT is the
alternative. I would be inclined to think that those who develop all the clever
lines, deprecated iframes, without coming up with a soluton...

The problem really is that you are choosing a doctype that you are not yet
ready to support in your capabilities. Change the doctype to one that is
more consistent with your experience and your understanding of standards.
There is nothing wrong with building HTML Loose pages, as long as you are
comfortable doing so.

Why... there is nothing wrong with a loose doctype. You set the level of
strictness... not your doctype!

Surely, this

is NOT the solution.

Why?

But a simple, easy, cop out, without paying proper

attention to the problem.

What?

I have read somewhere that OBJECT is the

alternative.

So this would be a better solution that switching doctype... I'm not
sure I follow your logic here!

A solution to what?

How to show an external site within your own page.

Are you saying that all those people who wish to display an external website
in the page, simply change the DOCTYPE? Of only that particular page?

Murray: If we all stayed within our own capabilities and understanding of
things, the learning process would not exist. So, I want to learn, perhaps NOT
as fast as you might imagine, that I would, but I am prepared to learn at my
own pace.. So, I want to know the alternative to iframes? As there are
people, who might not know much about chemistry, but they tinker with waste
fuels to produce gas for their car...:-)

How to show an external site within your own page.

Just out of curiosity why is it you want to show an external page within
your own page? If it dynamic stuff you could show it in a div with
overflow set to auto... then you could style that so it looked as an
Iframe if that's what you want.

Yes. Use the appropriate doc type that fits the page. That's what they
are there for. It's not to keep the W3C validator happy

My website has a number of events/books listed under various categories.
When the visitor wants to see more details, he/she can click through to the
event's own website, if there is one. The website is still contained within my
own page. Simply, because I want to.. There has been only one objection from
Kew Gardens, to this method. You can see what I am talking about at
www.gardensoflondon.co.uk. Go to 'publications/books' and click on any of the
amazon links.

I found a Frech site at :
http://joliclic.free.fr/html/object-tag/en/

which has lots of stuff relating to objects and much more. But their examples
do not show code for an external site. Just to try my luck, I copied the
code, adjusted it and it WORKS. Without altering the DOCTYPE. But at the very
beginning of the show, I get a frame, the size of the new window, with 'the
image not found' icon in top left. But a second or so later, the Amazon page
loads in its full glory....

<object data="http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/0711220395/?tag=httpwwwgard08-21"
type="text/html" width="600" height="400" alt:="text<a
href=""http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/0711220395/?tag=httpwwwgard08-21"</a>
</object>
would any of you know what adjustment I have to make, to eliminate the
original glitch?

Hi,

My website has a number of events/books listed under various categories.
When the visitor wants to see more details, he/she can click through to the
event's own website, if there is one. The website is still contained within my
own page. Simply, because I want to.. There has been only one objection from
Kew Gardens, to this method. You can see what I am talking about at
www.gardensoflondon.co.uk. Go to 'publications/books' and click on any of the
amazon links.

Ok. Well that's your choice to do so. Personally I would just open this
in a new window using target_blank. I'd use target_blank because it can
be difficult to find your way back if you go all the way through check
out etc at Amazon.

I found a Frech site at :
http://joliclic.free.fr/html/object-tag/en/

which has lots of stuff relating to objects and much more. But their examples

It seems as you have a believe that changing doc type is bad. It's not.
For instance using frames (or Iframes... AFAIK) you should use the
frameset dtd... and not try to circumvent whatever doctype you have in
your pages.

But at the very

beginning of the show, I get a frame, the size of the new window, with 'the
image not found' icon in top left. But a second or so later, the Amazon page
loads in its full glory....

If you're happy with this solution then go for it. It's your site and
you probably know your visitors better than I do But I find scrolling
sideways annoying as hell!
