O.P.  Retrieving and Displaying Webpages
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

Hmm, I seem to have forgotten what this does again... What? of course I'm sure... Wait... why do I have to reboot? oh well, here goes nothing... windows won't start... oh, I remember, that was a virus... maybe I should start labeling things correctly... eh, screw it... |

O.P. RE: Retrieving and Displaying Webpages
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...

RE: Retrieving and Displaying Webpages
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('');

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...
