I had an inspiration for a vb tag...

[google]foo[/google]

the code for it is this

Code:

<iframe height="500px" width="500px" src="http://www.google.com/search?query={param}"></iframe>

now can I legally display google or dictionary.com or any other "site" in an iframe on my site?

here is an example

am I asking for trouble?

If it's in an iframe who cares? They still see all the Google ads and that's probably the only thing they care about.

Not necessary.

Most news sites do not allow iframes or you framing their articles. Sites have been prosecuted for this before.

Google on the other hand is very lenient. They let most people cobrand their results for free. I don't see anything wrong with framing Google. But with other contents-type sites, written permission will be needed.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
