I was trying to write a script that would allow me to open and display the contents of a website inside of an MP!L window, but this proved harder than expected! I'm an experienced web designer/coder (PHP + MySQL) but I'm practically useless when it comes to XML
(I also tried opening a window in IE but cannot seem to figure out why i can't get it to open...) I have deleted most of my code and all I have now is the code to open the MP!L window...

I was hoping someone could show me some example codes that would allow me to open pages in an MP!L window... Any help would be much appreciated

you cannot have browser windows in a MP!L window..

no control for it ;0 already asked this question... Search!

Thats not what I was looking for! I wanted the content from a site, not the window itself, as if it were just a .txt file retrieved from another location. I was looking for something similar to the myspace new message checker, but one that actually displayed the data it retrieved... ( I am working on modding that script to see if it can be done, but I havent gotten anywhere...)

The browser window comment was 'geared' more towards opening a site in IE or Firefox, not using one in MP!L...

Do you want the actual page source?

code:

---

var pRequest = new ActiveXObject('Microsoft.XMLHTTP');
pRequest.open('GET', 'http://www.website.com/page.html', true);
pRequest.onreadystatechange = function() {
     if (pRequest.readyState == 4) {
          var sPage = pRequest.responseText;
          // sPage will contain the contents of the page.
     }
}
pRequest.send('');

I'll try that, thanks. any idea how to send your email address to a page (using POST)?

Thanks!

Ok, I've been trying to figure this out, but how do i use the retrieved site inside an MP!L window? I designed it to retrieve data from a MySQL database, and then display this data, but i guess im not used to xml, or the .js script format that MP!L uses...
