You really should be writing a custom UI for this rather than hacking
the ZMI. It will probably take less time, be much more manageable,
flexible and secure.

The other important difference between ajax loaded pages and iframes

In this png I did a search for DML Docs within a tab panel and the
search results are loaded into the same tab.
BTW, I would like to simplify the zmi even more for my users. I want
to hide various tabs (eg. security, find, etc) and I want to restrict
the number of products they are shown in the drop down box for adding
to a folder.
However, I still want to offer complete zmi functionality to the
overall administrator.
I can probably hide the security tabs using css (the overall admin
won't load the css sheet) but how can I control the products displayed
to a user in the folder view of the zmi?
Thanks,
Tim

Jurian,
While the ZMI is a bit geeky for the average user, it works quite
well inside an iframe.
iframes are used by many ajax/web2 (whatever you want to call it)
libraries. So in my application (for example) I currently make ajax
calls to load specific zmi pages inside tabs of a window layout.
IFRames. You should avoid those. With ajax or similar its easy to
skip
such stuff and just replace any named container tag.
Iframes are still a valid choice in case asynchronous won't work
e.g. when
you need to load resources from servers != your origin server. Due
the
security model of asynchronous requests, a browser will only load
stuff
from the origin server. Iframes are a way to work around this
limitation -
ugly as you said, but sometimes a good workaround.
