Pass game id into 5 Iframe pages is it possible

You should consider Iframe like new browser tab or popup. An Iframe is like a page inside a page. The url in the browser bar is the value of the SRC attribute.

Hey Tom,

Having problems loading your page so can't see what you've done. But here's some idea of what I'd do. The more you need to rely on dynamic data the more reason there is to switch to using a server-side scripting language such as PHP or ASP. It make sense to start using that earlier rather than later, so you don't need to change everything a few months down the line.

If you were using PHP for example (my scripting language of choice), then it would be simple. First you'd grab the gameID from the query string (the bit in the URL after the question mark):

<?php $gameID = $_GET['gameID']; ?>

Select allOpen in new window

Then for each iFrame, you'd just echo (output) the $gameID variable wherever you need it:

<iframe width='100%' height='400' scrolling='no' frameborder='no' src='http://dev.sportsnetwork.com/aspdata/NBA2/Court4.html?gameID=<?php echo $gameID ?>'> </iframe>

<iframe width='100%' height='400' scrolling='no' frameborder='no' src='someOtherPage.html?gameID=<?php echo $gameID ?>'> </iframe>

<iframe width='100%' height='400' scrolling='no' frameborder='no' src='anotherPage.html?gameID=<?php echo $gameID ?>'> </iframe>

Select allOpen in new window

Pretty much every application on the web these days is built using Server-Side scripting, so sooner or later you will need to embrace it :)

Chris we don't have any php framework installed Is that what you need to use php. We do have .net 2.0 and I can program in asp.net but for this case how do I do what you just did in PHP but do it in VB.NET OR C#. Preferably VB.

Straightforward advice. Thanks Bro

I wrote

 Sub Page_Load(Source As Object, E As EventArgs)

   Dim ID As String
   

   

            ID = Request.QueryString("gameID")
   END SUB

<iframe width='100%' height='175' scrolling='no' frameborder='no' src='http://dev.sportsnetwork.com/aspdata/NBA2/Nbastart1.html? & ID & '></iframe>


But it's not & or <% tried both. Please Help
