Question

I want to embed Twitter or something that is connected to Twitter through API in an IFRAME

Answer 1

+1 A:

<iframe src="http://twitter.com/someonespage" width="800" height="500">
  <p>Your browser does not support iframes.</p>
</iframe>

If you want more control than this, you'll probably need to use the Twitter API to build your own solution.

Here's a great blog on integrating the Twitter API directly into your web App.

BUt i want my user to be able to log in and post etc...When you go to twitter and log in it takes over the whole frame...

That's Twitter's doing. They probably don't want you doing this. Don't like it? Make a Twitter clone.

I edited my answer above. You should check out the Twitter API. http://apiwiki.twitter.com/

I am reviewing the API but if someone knows a good sollid sollution already done i am looking for suggestions

There are tons of other solutions out there that are already doing what you're doing. If you want in in your own web page, then you need to build it all yourself. Check out http://CoTweet.Com for some ideas on the robustness of the API.

Hmm, looks remarkably similar to the post above.

So what? I can't copy)

myfreeweb 2010-02-15 18:57:23

you can't log into this when embedded in a frame

I will edit this this works in IE6 on xp but not on IE8 Windows 7

Rico 2010-02-15 20:25:01

IE?? Why you are using it?

myfreeweb 2010-02-16 16:47:16

[IE?? Why you are using it?] - it's not about HIM using it... it's about his USERS using it. IE8 has all kinds of security features that basically KILL iFrames. Unfortunately it's DEVELOPERS who need to worry about making their app cross browser compatible. Not doing so would be a mistake. Forcing users to NOT use IE is a mistake.
