    Are there any alternatives to using the dreaded iframes?

    The site I'm currently on working does not have expanding content boxes, which is why I can't use php?id to include the content, unless of course that works within an IFRAME?

    any suggestions? The content is going on a 'piece of paper', so not much room, so iframes seem the only logical way of doing it to fit content in?

    alternative I can't think of any!

    you can use the php?id method but you will have to think about how it would work, the concept is the same to include files, its just you are linking from a iframe instead.

    Also you don't need to have expanding content boxes to use the include method, I'm not quite sure why you think otherwise?

    I read somewhere that php?id will make the content appear wherever it is, and disregard anything, like cell sizes and the like.

    the one time i tried it on non expanding content, the text over flowed and looked ridiculous

    could you provide me a example if possible? I'm sure its more to do with HTML coding than anything else.
