[Seaside] Best way to embedding Seaside in static HTML?

[Sebastian Sastre]

Hi Ruben,
 
    did you evaluate the option of doing it seaside based instead of static
based?
 
    I ask because, as far as I know, almost anything but seaside can handle
the back button and for controlling that consistently you have to have a
server to handle it consistently "behind the scenes". For the rest, is almos
a mere fileserver (over http), a role that apache can handle very well.
 
    my 2 cents,
 
Sebastian Sastre

PD: also as far as I know, most seaside apps are architected like that

Asunto: [Seaside] Best way to embedding Seaside in static HTML?



I have some static pages (with navigation) etc. that are served by apache.
These pages are designed and published with RapidWeaver. Seaside is used for
some forms "inside" the static pages. Therefore I have setup apache to
proxy/reverse proxy Seaside. 

The "embedding" is done with iFrames:


     <div id="content">

          <iframe name="target"


               src="http://mysite.com/seaside/entry_point"


               width="620"
               height="500"
               frameborder="0"
               

scrolling="auto"
               id="target"></iframe> <!-- End content -->

It works. However, some users experience problems: 
- the back key doesn't work correctly
- the seaside app is rendered after the static contents 
- some browsers don't support the iframe tag
- Refresh the page doesn't refresh the iframe in some browsers

Is there any better way to achieve the same goal? I know the opposite
(seaside on the "outside") would work better, however I do have more static
contents and want the static pages to perform as fast and as reliable as
possible. 
Thanks for your help!
