Issues:
Because the database pages (ASPs) are hosted on a different domain, I need to include them in the location pages. I currently do this with iframes.
ie: www.mydomain.com/listingsABC.htm contains an iframe which calls www.database.anotherdomain.com/listingsABC.asp
Question:
basically, is there a better way of doing this? (without moving the databases, that is...)
would an object tag be any better, for example? i've heard you can use that instead of iframes. i've looked into using an ajax solution, but what i've found only allows you to call pages from within the same domain.
As a side note, I try to get around the obvious SE crawling issue by putting much of the content the consumer reading the page sees inside the alternative content part of the iframe, ie: <iframe> what the consumer sees in plain text </iframe>, and it seems to work. only problem is that it somewhat defeats the object of having a database for the listings when i have to often (a few times a week, sometimes daily) change this static content for the sake of the SE page crawlers. So, again, is there a better way of doing all of this, bearing this in mind?
Thanks :-)
If it's a server you should be able to access it from anywhere. If it's a file you should be able to move it.
Let me know if I'm missing something.
Are you using a database server (e.g. MySql), or a database file (e.g. MS Access)?If it's a server you should be able to access it from anywhere. If it's a file you should be able to move it.
Let me know if I'm missing something.
It's an Access database file, and I don't want to move it for a number of reasons including hosting cost, development time, etc.
