SSI alternative to iframe to pull external file into page

**ckellyne** · 06-22-2009, 05:37 PM

Background: I maintain a real estate website in which we pay for the MLS feed and have complete rights to the content, etc. Today I pull the MLS feed into our site's look and feel so the user can easily navigate to other subdivisions, nearby towns, etc. as well as access other real estate related tools e.g. calculators, content, etc.

Problem: Today, I reluctantly use iframes and would like to use an alternative to IFRAMES and NOT use OBJECT as a solution due to its lack of support for IE 6.0 or less users (which represent about 50% of the users that use our website). The MLS feed comes from an external domain if that info is needed. Various search engines treat pages with iframes in non-flattering ways from what I've read.

Question: I've researched this issue quite a bit and don't seem to be able to find a conclusive answer to this question which is.....Does anyone know of a way to use an SSI on my server to call and display an external web page e.g. "http://www.xyz.com/index.html" inside of a webpage with my look and feel e.g. "http:www.abc.com/search-results.shtml"?

Thanks for your help - chris
