We need to have a new tag in HTML that allows the authors to link only a part of an external webpage. Scenario ------------- - Information is dynamically generated from database and displayed on webpage a. - An author wants to display same information on webpage b. Since webpage b does not have access to the database so it cannot, the only way is to manually update it, or the other case is if there is a public xml page available and that can be displayed using stylesheets. - But this can be done efficiently using a special tag since this type of linking is required a lot. Instead of redirecting to an external website, we could do this if there was a way to simply display only a part of external page on our webpage. For this I think a SECTION tag would do. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <SECTION id="stockReport"> <!-- here goes the complete code that may be dynamically generated --> </SECTION> --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- webpage a Now this portion of the webpage could be accessed from another webpage by simply linking to this particular section of the page, using the LINK tag. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<!-- where you want to display the information --> <LINK url="url of the source page" sectionId="stockReport"/> --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- webpage b This is a better way according to me for external linking. -- Adeel Javed MS Computer Sciences University of Central Punjab Pakistan
