[Radiant] Help on Extension: EmbedPage

[Sean Cribbs]

Colin,

You might be better off with an IFRAME or something similar, otherwise 
you will have to create a bunch of workarounds in your Rails application 
to deal with a different HTTP_REFERER.

The other option, of course, is to fuse Radiant with your application, 
i.e. making your application into an extension, but that may not be 
appropriate.
