I want to output two HTML documents, wrapped inside of an HTML document
Is it possible to do something like this with HTML?
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<frameset>
<frame>
<html>
<head></head>
<body>First page here</body>
</html>
</frame>
<frame>
<html>
<head></head>
<body>Second page here</body>
</html>
</frame>
</body>
</html>
It doesn't have to be frames, but I only want to hit the server once, so linking to a document with src attribute is out, it has to be inline.
You mean like this:
<html>
<head>
</head>
<frameset cols="30%,*">
<frame src="page01.html">
<frame src="page02.html">
</frameset>
</html>
Not possible. Neither iframe nor frame is inline. The best for your scenario would be to extract the body tag content, and insert it into a div. CSS would be a problem, though - there'd have to be some processing on it so it would be restricted to just half the page. Something like this:
<html>
<head>
<title>Combined</title>
</head>
<body>
<div id="page1">
First page here
</div>
<div id="page2">
Second page here
</div>
</body>
</html>
CSS transformation: body -> #page1 (or #page2), #id -> #id, anything else X -> #page1 X.
Using iframes is definitely easier; and if the server is well-configured, it probably doesn't even require a separate connection.
BTW: Your suggestion will probably render, but AFAIK it's non-standard (browsers guessing what you want, instead going by the specification, something browsers have gotten used to having to do); and there's still the problem of CSS.
