What you are proposing to do is known as "Stealing bandwidth" which could
result in your account being tossed.

For instance, your site is xyz.com and you want to display a frame page that
is hosted by abc.com.
That puts extra bandwidth usage on them and they could go over their
allotment and when they find out you caused it, you go down the tubes and
wind up paying them.
Best to just put a link to the page and open it in a new window.

Some jerk tried to make his visitors see my home page on his site.
I simply put in a line of javasctipt that directed his visitors to an adult
web site.
He got the message.
