I am attempting to embed a "shout box" onto my site. The readme file for this code says to use the iframe tag in order to call the .php file for the tag board.

I'd rather not use iframe because only IE understands it. I played with <div> and <span> and also attempted a simple jscript to call in the file(although Im not very handy with js yet I may have coded it wrong) and neither worked.

Your thoughts?

Let me know if I need to include more info\data, thanks for your time!

On the page that you want to call the file, is it a .php file itself? If it is, you can just use a php include():

<?php include("shoutbox_file.php"); ?>

Hope this helped.

"php include(filename)" is already being used. I was looking for a way to place it in a specific spot on the web page and be able to position it to my liking. I ended up going with iframe. I tested it in firefox and it works fine. Im assuming other browsers have adopted iframe by now also so I'll just stick with iframe and I'll figure out something else if it becomes problematic.

Thank you for your feedback though, Emily, I appreciate it! =]

You can use as many include instances as needed in one file, just make sure you close the instance with ?>

Ya know.... I think I missunderstood Emily's statement. < Im Super tired right now =[
I'll try out the 'include' tag when I get a chance tonight.
And thanks for your words Gabe, didnt realize I could use more then one.
