Is there a way of populating SharePoint fields with data from external/embedded web pages?
If you create a field on a SharePoint page it gets an id e.g.
<input type="text" name="__spDummyText1" style="display:none;" size=1/>
<input type="text" name="__spDummyText2" size=1/>
An embedded web page is essentially displayed in an iFrame (inline frame) to pass content from one frame to another all you need is a Javascript and the id of the target location on the parent page. This should allow us to populate information in SharePoint from our other data sources Select an item on the embedded web page and the javascript populates the field on the SharePoint page.
If you have any suggestions or feedback on how to do this, it would be great!
