SillyDog701 • Remote Code Script

I want to be able to change code that is displayed on sites that contain my ads. For example, a site inserts a piece of code. This does something like inserting a remote image does. So instead of there being code on the site, what you see is the code that i have in a remote location.

So say the site I have displaying content is http://www.a.com

There site has there code, but then displays then uses the code I have at http://www.b.com/ad.html

What script (or other thing) can do this?

[tt][/tt] for ASP
[tt]<?php include('http://www.b.com/ad.html') ?>[/tt] for PHP

You can use HTML's [tt]iframe[/tt] element too...

Code: Select all: <iframe src="http://www.b.com/ad.html" title="Ad" style="width: width-in-px; height: height-in-px;"></iframe>

(you can also use /> instead of [tt]</iframe>[/tt] if you're using XHTML)

You can also do it in JavaScript, although I wouldn't reccomend it (needs modern browsers supporting XMLHTTP).

Add this to your [tt]<head>[/tt] element:

Code: Select all: <script> function clientSideInclude(id, url) { var req = false; // For Safari, Firefox, and other non-MS browsers if (window.XMLHttpRequest) { try { req = new XMLHttpRequest(); } catch (e) { req = false; } } else if (window.ActiveXObject) { // For Internet Explorer on Windows try { req = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP"); } catch (e) { try { req = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP"); } catch (e) { req = false; } } } var element = document.getElementById(id); if (!element) { alert("Bad id " + id + "passed to clientSideInclude." + "You need a div or span element " + "with this id in your page."); return; } if (req) { // Synchronous request, wait till we have it all req.open('GET', url, false); req.send(null); element.innerHTML = req.responseText; } else { element.innerHTML = "Sorry, your browser does not support " + "XMLHTTPRequest objects. This page requires " + "Internet Explorer 5 or better for Windows, " + "or Firefox for any system, or Safari. Other " + "compatible browsers may also exist."; } } </script>

...then give [tt]<body>[/tt] an onLoad attribute, like this

Code: Select all: <body>onLoad="clientSideInclude('adInclude', 'http://www.b.com/ad.html');">

...then create a <span> element with the ID [tt]adInclude[/tt] to tell the JS to dump the contents there.

Code: Select all: <span id="adInclude"></span>

(alternatively you can use [tt]<span id="adInclude"/>[/tt] if you're using XHTML, but IE will choke on that)
