PageView Plugin
PageView is a plugin that will display another web page inside the current post. This is achieved with the use of an iframe - an HTML tag that allows a webpage to be displayed inline with the current page. Although an iframe can lead to a complicated website, it can be very effective when used appropriately.
Installation

Great Plug-in, this will make my site look more professional! I found a small bug, if you’re using John’s giraffe theme editor plug-in and one changes anything within it the pageview window is reduced in size and looks really bad. I found that if you input the required CSS code into the style.css in the giraffe plugin folder not in the theme’s folder the problem is fixed. It would be great if john includes this in his next version of giraffe’s plug-in.
Thanks

The CSS code can go anywhere in your style.css file - doesn't matter if it's the end or the beginning.

Hi... Yes indeed, this is a very useful plugin... thanks a lot. Pardon my ignorance, but i just have to make this question if i want this plugin to work on my website:
Where do i paste the css code?? at the end of the style.css file? or at the beggining? (if it helps, i'm using the pool theme)
Thanks for any infor regarding that!!!

Thanks Mathias. Yep, I spotted the object tag a few hours back and thought I was safe at least until tomorrow!
The
pretag is fine for small bursts of code, but I created the plugin so as not to clutter up a post with a lot of code. I will investigate the Code Tag Transformation plugin further though - it certainly looks very pretty.Apr 16, 2005 2:27 pm
Oh, and instead of those horrible
iframes for code insertions, you could have used thepretag with some spiffy CSS. Or -- even better -- Code Tag Transformations.Apr 16, 2005 2:20 pm
A more WordPress way of embedding a page within another page, would be through the use of
object, like this:<object data="/include/adsense.php"></object>Apr 16, 2005 11:53 am
I've updated the plugin to include usage instructions in the plugin page. You can modify the dimensions of the frame by changing the CSS style. I've added a couple of details about this here on the page.

Oh, also please add the example to the plugin description as shown in the admin panel so poeple don't forget the format required.

Excellent plugin!
When I first read about it at WordPress Plugin DB, I thought to myself, how is this better than EZStatic? I didn't know it wasn't about putting static HTML inside template but inside posts - a truly unique solution. I love it.
By the way, can you modify the plugin to accept also height and weight for the inline frame? The default are pretty small.
