Alan, No, it is not an html question, but a css question, which is why I asked if there was a way to do this using css. In any case, I tried both of your html suggestions but neither one worked---apparently because they are html solutions that apply to the target frame, not the content of the embedded frame. I tried the various solutions at the iframe end and could not get any to work. The solution was to do what I hoped to avoid: write a short javascript function that creates the embedding document with its own stylesheet wrapped around the picture source. Maybe there is a css way or even an html way to do this without javascript, but I couldn't spend any more time experimenting.
Thanks to everyone for taking the time to help.
