Converting javascript into iframe

[gwong123]

Hey, I need to convert this javascript code into iframe. The javascript goes into a server and brings out an ad banner. The X's is the server IP.

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="http://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX/blahblah/0000/blahblahblah.php"></script>

What I need to do is convert that line of code into an iframe format so that it does the same job of going into the server and pulling out the banner. Right now if I just add on the iframe tags, all it does it return the server info.

<iframe src="http://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX/blahblah/0000/blahblahblah.php"></iframe>

What I need is for the banner ad itself to be returned, not the server info. I'm not knowledgeable with converting from javascript to iframe, can anyone give me some help?

EDIT: Something else I realized is that if I just put in <iframe></iframe>, it still returns server info even though I never specified a target URL src.

Welcome to TSDN!

I assume blahblah.php returns a Javascript file. Try putting it in a browser to see the output.

I placed the url into my browser and it returned all of this:

var js='http://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX/bannercode/5251/04FF9A29A4ED390C0A260146E8E2080E.php';...

snipped code because it was messing up formatting - moderator

It's weird because this code works:

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="http://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX/bannercode/5251/04FF9A29A4ED390C0A260146E8E2080E.php"></script>

and it connects to the server, pulls out the banner ad and displays it. But when I try switching it to iframe, it doesn't work:

<iframe src="http://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX/bannercode/5251/04FF9A29A4ED390C0A260146E8E2080E.php"></iframe>

The reason why the first line works and the second one doesn't is that the output is Javascript. What you need to do is create another file with the first line then use that file in the iframe.

Oh great! That works! Thanks a bunch!

Now I just want to ask is that I have 8 different ad servers. The site I am making with the iframes basically dives into each server and returns a banner ad from each server into a table.

adservertest.html (example site) is where I will be having 8 iframe lines each pulling a banner ad out from each of the 8 servers. Will I have to make an individual file to hold each of the javascript lines?
In other words, do I have to do this?

adserver1.html
adserver2.html
adserver3.html
adserver4.html
adserver5.html
adserver6.html
adserver7.html
adserver8.html
Each of the above contains the respective javascript line for that specific server.

Then I have the adservertest.html which contains 8 <iframe></iframe> lines for each of the 8 files. Is there anyway to do it so that I can make just one file containing the javascript lines for each server (instead of 8 seperate files) from which the adservertest.html can pull it out from?

You could use the URL search property (link). So the file could be adserver.html?num=1, and you could change the num value for the rest. In the actual file, you'd have to parse the search property (described in the link). If it equals 1, then write out the script tag for the first ad server, if 2, then for the 2nd server and so on.

Would it be possible for you to give me a very basic example of code so I can see how I would utilize the code to achieve the effect you mentioned with the URL arguments?

[acoder]

You could have something as simple as ?1 at the end of the URL.

Then in your file, you could have the following code:

var num = location.search.substring(1);
switch (num) {
 case 1: document.write("<script src='...'><\/script>"); break;
 case 2: ...
}
