Hi guys,
We need to load an external page (from another domain) into ours. The problem is that the height cannot be adjusted according to the height of the external content. First I tried using an iframe, but the height wouldn't adjust. Then I was told that I could load the content in a div using an Ajax script. I was given this example:

<script type="text/javascript">
                   new Ajax.PeriodicalUpdater('external', 'http://www.external.com/content.php', {
                              method: 'get', frequency: 30, decay: 3
                            });
                        </script>. 
<div name="external">here comes the content</div>

Anyone knows how to complete the code?
I have no experience with Ajax scripts.

Your help is appreciated.

Kind regards
Henrik

You cannot load a page from a different domain with javascript.

Then how is this possible:

 
<div id="cse-search-results"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
  var googleSearchIframeName = "cse-search-results";
  var googleSearchFormName = "cse-search-box";
  var googleSearchFrameWidth = 600;
  var googleSearchDomain = "www.google.com";
  var googleSearchPath = "/cse";
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.google.com/afsonline/show_afs_search.js"></script>

This is from Googles Custom Search Engine where you can display the search results on a page of your own.

As far as I can see this looks very much like a Javascript. And Google aren't hosted at the same place as we are
Anyone knows how it's done?

Google's custom search, adsense etc calls a remote script into action, which gets the data from google.com and displays it on the page where the script is called.

Your script is trying to get data from a remote host, which is blocked as a XSS (Cross Site Scripting) attempt.

you need to get the AJAX script to get the remote page using whatever server side code you can run.
So you call a local code page, that then gets the remote data
