In my html5/css3 website I need to load a <form> from an external host/server and display it somewhere on my page. I've read that frames are deprecated. What would be an alternative?, How would I do it?

thanks

    Framesets might be deprecated. Iframes are just fine. In fact, [framesets were deprecated in favor of iframes](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/frameset). – cHao Aug 21 '13 at 07:03

You can use Iframes for this:

<iframe src="http://example.com/form.php" name="myform"> // or src="path/to/your/form.php"

// the content of your Iframe goes here...

</iframe>

  • is there a way to make the iframe take up as much space in the parent as its content?. I would like for the iframe to adjust to it's content. – ShaneKm Aug 21 '13 at 07:20
  • I found this on stackoverflow. It's a responsive-ish Iframe that takes up 100% of it's parent http://stackoverflow.com/a/12121929/1379394 – Kees Sonnema Aug 21 '13 at 07:22
