Hello,

I'm trying to include a Picasa photo gallery into my website. I have experimented with includeurl, and it works fine for statically-sized pages.

The problem is, includeurl makes you pick a height for the rendered area, and Picasa includes a thumbnail page whose height varies with the number of pictures in it. Since I cannot know the height of the page prior to rendering, I run the risk of getting a vertical scrollbar if I've undersized it, or of having too much head space if I've oversized it. I would not like to have the scrollbar appear at all.

I tried the Markup version of includeurl, and that gives me the layout of what I want, but it cannot deal with relative urls embedded in the page. Try including google.com, and you'll see all the images are broken because they use relative URLs.

Is there a way to get the script version of includeurl, but without ever seeing a vertical scrollbar? Vertical scrollbars are confusing to the user because there are effectively two scrollbars - one in the frame/object, and one for the surrounding page. I would like only one on the surrounding page.

Alternatively, if someone can point me to a recipe that looks and acts like a Picasa gallery, that's fine as well. The problem is, I looked at 3 or 4 recipes and they all are clunky in some way or another.

Thanks,
Russ
