Topic: [SOLVED] PHP in Iframe w/o src

[mo]

Is there a way to get php to render in an iFrame w/o specifying a src file? I just want to for example call a fucntion which prints a list and I want the list in the iFrame. I'm trying to avoid creating a paginated list by using an iFrame and I am new to iFrames.

I've been pushing this a lot recently, but with a lot of these ideas ajax really is a great option. With the constant improvements of javascript frameworks it couldn't be easier. Example jQuery could be just this simple,

$("#id-of-iframe").load("the-php-file-to-load");

Thanks for the reply but I would still be referencing a php file to load. On my current PHP page I have a form where I can add entries to a database table. Below the form I have a list of all the entries in the table, I want just the entries in the iFrame not my entire page.

I could easily reference a new PHP file with the logic to produce the list but that would mean that for every page where I want to use the iFrame in this manner, I would have to create a seperate file with the actual list code for the iFrame to reference.

I really want to use the iFram like a wrapper or table tag. Is this possible?

Why not just using a scrolling div with overflow: auto; .

The above is a very basic (which is all you need) look at it.

Son of a biscuit eating bulldog...This is just what I wanted.

Unfortunetely HTML, CSS, PHP, etc. are not my main languages as my focus is standalone/non-web applications and I am still learning what syntax, APIs, etc. are available to me.

Thanks.
