web page question

[happymidget]

I have found a few sites on the web that allow you to open their site and then enter a new URL into one of their textboxes, and you can browse any page within their site. I am intrested in creating a web site like this for personal and friend use, so I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction on how to create such a page. Thanks. (sorry if i posted this in the wrong place.)

A simple example: http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~jwb/jviewer.html

Hi Happymidget

Open the sample page, click view/source and you will see how it is done. You can copy the code and then edit it for your own page, for starters.

Good luck.

That site is alot more powerful than just viewing pages. It has a translation script working in the background.

If you wanted something like that you would probably have to pay or search souceforge for an open source alternative if one exists.

I looked at the source of the example page and the script has a line in it:
<FORM ACTION="http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/ssb/access" METHOD="GET">
I went to that site and it is running off of a program called: Web Access Gateway, version 8.2. The program is open source, so do you suppose if I set this up on my website and then created a page similar to the example that I gave earlier, I could make a simple "browser inside a browser"?

I don't think anything like that would be simple, but you could give it a try.
That program seems to be more for translation and accessibility rather that just have a browser within a browser.
