Ask HN: Options to Embed page/widget websites other than iframe?

2 pointsfakenewsguy1 comment

Looking for a solution users to easily embed our dynamic page/widget into their website and also allow customization's like styling etc. I see that google maps etc. use iframes, fb does it with div mounting. Are there any other solution's?

We do it via a one-line javascript snippet.

eg: <script src="//example.com/blah/widget.js?id=xxxxxx"></script>

widget.js is a server side script that creates the widget and echo's it out. Many ways of doing this and the easiest is a bunch of document.write()'s for the html
