You could use that to render the language navbar from a single file in all pages, even though <iframe> is officially deprecated. As discussed above, this was its original intended use after all!

YouTube's embed function still uses <iframe>, so until that changes, <iframe> isnt going away. (Even if they stop using iframe, there will still be probably millions of instances of it scattered across the Web from people who copied the embed code at an earlier time.)

Quoting the rest of the post here because I bumped it off the page:

(The next reasonable alternative would be to allow server-side includes () by fiddling with the configuration of your server, if you're allowed to do that, but iframes would work right away.)

Ah, c'mon, dammit. Well, I couldn't get it done on that day either, and then as time passed it's been placed lower and lower in the priorities... Plus, you (Ars Lande) posted a couple weeks after that you were now using some other thing (the Akana wiki? I don't remember).

No problem at all. Actually, I'm not using anything yet really

If you'd like to share what provider, I'd be very interested though.

My current plans (for a certain value of 'current': knowing me, they'll be implemented sometime in the '40's) are to use a local instance of Mediawiki for my personal use, and to export the whole thing as static html.
