Hi All

downloaded the trial, and I am keen to get into this good looking product. However..............

I have searched the forum, and can't seem to find a definitive answer to this question. I have a website, built with ASP, on a MS host server. I have other sites on Linux servers - so here is the question - could I put an iFrame into a page on the ASP site, and managed the content of that iFrame with CMS running on a separate Linux/MySQL server? Or does the CMS HAVE to sit on the same server - in which case it's a no go I think.

with thanks

Brad

Hi Brad, welcome to the forums!

I think that should be fine. I can't think of any technical reason why that wouldn't work. Give it a try, if you have any problems with it we can help you out!

Tried this as suggested, and it worked a treat.

Thanks very much
