Embedding data on web pages

I have setup a test template here http://www.meteoplug.com/cgi-bin/meteoc ... 2a38242024

This shows the temperature in a Blue Tit nest box in my garden.

I want to add this to my Nest Box cam site here http://home.btconnect.com/brettoliver1/ ... st_box.htm next to the image of the box.

Is there an easy way of doing this with Iframe or something similar?

Thanks.

I've not tried it but I can't think of any reason why an iframe would not work.

You might need to use something like a table to get things arranged as you want them, i.e. placing the iframe inside a table cell (<td></td>). I notice you are already using tables so just an extension of an idea you are already using?

Thanks again for that Skyewright.
My Nest Box page now has weather data embedded ( I think they are your graph definitions from one of your other posts) on the page.

Nice. :D

Watching birds can be so fascinating!

I'm glad I was able to help a bit, even if it was really not much more than offering some encouragement.
