what is the correct way of rendering an HTML file in MVC4

Question

I have a site with a layout, and am trying to render a plain Html file (that can change daily) inside of a view.

I have done partial views before and imagine that the solution would be similar, but after some trial and (and seraching) I have not found a way to include html files, just cshtml.

Answer 1

If you are not a owener of the html file, its better to use iframe to load it. So you will not mess up with their javascript and css files as it loads independently.

In your view

@{
var ExternalPageUrl="www.stackoverflow.com";
}

<div>
<iframe src="@ExternalPageUrl" />
</div>

Answer 2

Just put this in a blank cshtml file:

<div id="html">&nbsp;</div>

$("#html").load("PathToFile/dynamicPage.html");
