Is there any way to embed an external web page without using an iframe? I have access to both sites, I just want the page that the content is embedded on to resize based on the content that is embedded (it will change over time, and be on multiple sites).
Thanks!
EDIT: I don't think any kind of AJAX would work because it's cross-site, and JavaScript doesn't let you load off-site content (as far as I'm aware).

EMBED is basically the same as IFRAME, only with fewer attributes. Formally, EMBED is an HTML 5 tag, but on several browsers it will also work for HTML 4.01, if you are using this. It just cannot be validated. As always HTML 5 is recommended for the pages.
Iframes Bring Security Risks. If you create an iframe, your site becomes vulnerable to cross-site attacks. You may get a submittable malicious web form, phishing your users' personal data. A malicious user can run a plug-in.
You could use an <iframe> in order to display an external webpage within your webpage. Just place the url of the webpage that you want to display inside the quotes of the src attribute. Show activity on this post. Either you use an iframe or you load the site via AJAX into a div (e.g. using jQuerys load() method).
You could load the external page with jquery:
<script>$("#testLoad").load("http://www.somesite.com/somepage.html");</script> <div id="testLoad"></div> //would this help

Or you could use the object tag:
