Hi Tony,
Yep, that was top of my list. I had this recollection though that if you had items with hard-coded positional info, that it wouldn’t work for scaling. Do you know if it does? I’ve also heard a lot of folk over the years saying that iframes are on the way out, and that the latest standards & browsers are very inconsistent in their handling of them. I’m wondering how true that is.

It would compartmentalise the markup.

I have no control over the contents of the HTML but I’d like the have it appear within a region of my own page where I control the size. It could well contain fixed sizes, tables, etc. that I cannot control. I suppose I’d like to achieve what my iPad does. If I hit a wider site using it, by default it just scales it to fit its own size. I’d like to do that within a region of my own page.

Does it have fixed widths coded into the html that you wish to change somehow based on page size?
