pulling in other content

I have a bunch of other content Id like to pull in from an existing site, much of which (hold your nose) uses frontpage tags and other undesireable items. Im not sure its a good idea to bring this content into a new project based on mojoportal, unless I first convert all the content to aspx. What about the pages that use forms to email their content ? Wont this conflict with the using a masterpage ? I plan on converting all these items, but that might have to be stage 2.

Arrgh...I just love frontpage

Re: pulling in other content

If you just want to display content from another site inside mojoportal, one option is to use source view in the eidtor and add iframe with src= url to external content.
Not sure how well that will work if there are postbacks and such needed in the external pages but it might work. Also if they come from a different domain they won't be able to set a cookie running in an iframe but in the same domain it should work.

I'm not sure I understand the question about email forms. There is definitely a difference in classic asp/frontpage vs .NET in that .NET wants there to only be 1 form tag in a page. This is not a master page thing it is more general than that.

Ultimately it will be best to re-do these pages in .NET/mojoportal implementation but these ideas may help some for interim solution.
