Trash the IFRAME, any object, such as a DIV can and will perform in the way you're envisioning. With the IFRAME the user loses sight of the interface when it begins its request, at the start of refresh. The UI doesn't return until the iframe is finished with the request, where as inserting new content into a DIV that was retrieved behind the scenes allows a much more seamless user experience. So my suggestion is, just ditch the IFRAME for a DIV and have that DIV stake claim on the same real estate the iframe had. The only difference will be that you need to make an initial request to populate on load, no big deal.
