Advanced Iframe Question??? Is this possible?

by Allen Graves
3 replies
Is there a way to create an iframe of another web page, but only frame a certain portion of that web page? Maybe using pixel points or something?

Or, if anyone is so inclined, can you figure out how I can get these movie times onto my own website?

Cobb Theatres

They're right in the middle of the page...and I cannot find any rss or any other way of doing it.

Thanks!

    Iframe isn't way to go. Get a programmer to write you a script to grab details and display them on your page.

    Simple.

    The frame address is "http://www.cobbtheatres.com/showtimes.aspx?theaterid=8595&date=3/22/2009"

    You need an IFrame to show them that would look something like this

    <iframe src ="http://www.cobbtheatres.com/showtimes.aspx?theaterid=8595&date=3/22/2009" width="100%" height="300">
    <p>Your browser does not support iframes.</p>
    </iframe>

    The only problem is that you will need to append the date ("date=3/22/2009") at the end of the frame address to get it working.

    Some simple Javascript like the one below could be adapted for this purpose:

    var currentTime = new Date()
    var month = currentTime.getMonth() + 1
    var day = currentTime.getDate()
    var year = currentTime.getFullYear()
    document.write(month + "/" + day + "/" + year)

    Hope that helps
