this link provide does not load a full webpage into a div. there is a button.



<div id="topBar"> <a href ="#" onclick="load_home()"> HOME </a> </div>
<div id ="content"> </div>
<script>
function load_home(){
document.getElementById("content").innerHTML='<object type="type/html" data="http://www.google.com" ></object>';
}
</script>
</div>

That's because certain sites (Google, Facebook ...) can't be embedded in an iframe or object. Replace data="http://www.google.com" with data="http://www.dynamicdrive.com" and you'll see what I mean.
Btw, type="type/html" should be type="text/html".

It's a little unclear what you want. It sounds like you want your page to look and act like it's the other page. That's often a violation of the other site's copyright and/or its terms of service. Because of that, other sites will sometimes even have code to prevent it. But if you have permission to do it and the other site permits it from a code point of view, it's possible. In fact, if the other site explicitly sets an origin header that allows it, you can import its content via AJAX. Few sites do that though unless they want you to do what you are asking for, and it must be set on the server side.

sorry i should have explained it more. The divs are only 300px by 300px and displaying thumbnails of webpages that will have links the the said webpages

Oh, you can't really do that with just javascript I don't think. There are server side programs for that (none free that are any good I'm aware of, though I haven't looked into it for some time*), or you could just make your own thumbnail images and link them in the normal manner.


* A while back I experimented with one that used PHP's GD image library and a virtual incidence of the IE browser (version 8 back then, so that wouldn't work any longer, not sure if any browser today would be applicable), to generate a "real time" (that was the issue, took too long) thumbnail.
