I too am interested in this. What Ive learned so far:
1. filesysobj wont allow access to files on external servers... thus you need an asp component like ASPTear, which will allow you to retrieve html from remote servers. HOWEVER, you have to be an administrator and or have permission from your server administrator to do this! (Some servers will not allow, others will, but make you pay extra.) I dont know the link to ASPTear, but it can be found under the components section of ASP101.com, or do a "ASPTear" keyword search at 4guysfromrolla.com and youll even find an article explaining how to use it. (Plus the "components" webboard at that site will help out)
2. You can use DynamicHTML to retrieve html from another source. (innerHTML or innerTXT commands) This Ive never used and am not familiar with. The good is that it works on the client-side, decreasing server resources. The bad is that it is only supported by ie. 4+. :-( I guess the way youd use it, as someone explained to me, would be to have child frame call up the external html content, and have parent frame use it via a form.
3. Someone told me to look into xml. But XML related languages are only supported by ie 4+ on the client-side, and if youre trying to use it on the backend, might as well use ASPTear cause youll still need administrator access/permission.
4. Id be interested in some sort of javascript solution. I know you can call up an external *.js file from another server, and the file can include html commands, but this wont work if the other server saves their html pages in html only.

Im really interested in other ways of pulling external html w/o resorting to an asp component, so if anyone has other suggestions pl |
