alternate to Page viewer web part in sharepoint?
i need to show some external site in a sharepoint page for the customer. I dont have page viewer web part visible to me in web part gallary yet. So i was thinking i can use IFrame for now or object tag. but SharePoint does not allow these tags any more. What could be the alternative to these? Please note that i only have the option to do stuff in browser OR designer, I dont have the option to write my code etc. I need to show two external sites on one page.Moonis Tahir MVP, MCPD, MCSD.net, MCTS BizTalk 2006/SQL 2005/SharePoint Server 2007 (Dev & Config)

Hi Moonis - may I ask why don't you have the page viewer web part? That is a default web part installed with SharePoint.

I was surprised to see it that i only see list view web part in the web part gallary. I dont see any other web part. Customer provided a restricted site and dont want to provide full control. I dont know which permission in sharepoint can hide web parts. I dont have full control in the site but site itself is a subsite and i dont have access any where else. I requested for page viewer web part but dont have it yet so i was trying the alternates to do the same.Moonis Tahir MVP, MCPD, MCSD.net, MCTS BizTalk 2006/SQL 2005/SharePoint Server 2007 (Dev & Config)

i exported the page viewer web part from another server as dwp file and imported to the customer site, it worked well. however i discovered that there is really no out of box alternate to do IFrame other than page viewer web part. However if you develop your own custom user control for IFrame functionality, it can be used that way. however my situation was different that i can not use coding. i was suppose to use only out of box in brower or designer only.Moonis Tahir MVP, MCPD, MCSD.net, MCTS BizTalk 2006/SQL 2005/SharePoint Server 2007 (Dev & Config)
