Embedding a secure form into another HTML page

[cimmeronstudios]

Someone help! I am not sure where to begin. I have been given a link to a secure form set up (https://form.yada.yada.com) that I'm supposed to embed into the main website (http://www.mainwebsite.com/contact.html) so that it shows up when the visitor goes to the contact page. Not a click out to the form and not using frames.

Can someone please help?

Thanks,

Have you tried using an Iframe to achieve your desired result? You basically add the code at the bottom anywhere on the contact page you would like it to appear and..ta-da..you have arrived. You can also adjust the sizing to your liking and it also features an automatic scroll. The other thing is it is kinda like a frame but not really because you can make it stationary on your page. Example: If the content that you are putting on the page is not going to change then you can adjust the "width" and "height" of the iframe to where it won't move.

Remember mine has the autoscroll because the source page is larger than the cell that I created on my site. If you look at it and select the next month you will see the autoscroll disappear. Just take a look and see what you think.

Click this link and it will show you what it would look like.

Try something like this.
-------------------------------------

<iframe name=stbbox src="https://form.yada.yada.com" width="100%" height="1000">



Your browser doesn't support frames. Click here to view the page.</p>
</iframe>

I'll try that now. Do you think there will be an issue because I'm pulling from an https page and placing that info into an insecure page?

thanks and I'll let you know if it works.

Excellent! Thank you so much for the reply and the help. have a great weekend.

There should not be a problem with the security because all you are doing is making the source page visible via another website. This should not take away from the security of the source page which is secure.

I am glad everything worked out for you! Have a most excellent weekend!

2. Why not just copy the form code into your main page? Don't you have SSL on your server? Try it, the script receiving the form data may allow it.

Only SE death if you're trying to rank for what's inside the frame. Since a SE can't fill out a form anyway, it's really not that big of a deal IMO.
