IFRAME, Setoff Options

[lanisc]

HI
I dont know much about HTML-coding, but wonder if there are any way to display just a portion of another page, via IFRAME (or any other tag or code)? For example, I just wish to show the middle part of a page on another URL, not the top, bottom, left och right side. Most of all i wish to have pixelprecision on what part of the external page, showing up.
Is there any way to accomplish this?
If there is, I need a detailed answer, otherwise I am afraid I cant implement the solution, because of my poor knowledge of HTML.
Thank you!

No, I don't think so, not in the way you mean if I understand you right.

You can make an iframe scroll to a certain position (just as a normal window) if there are anchors in the other page.

If you then disable scrolling you have something close to what you ask for. It seems risky to do something like this though. If the user uses another resolution and/or text size than you expect, you have no idea how much or little of the page he sees. If the page you want to frame is your own, you would be better of to split it up. If it isn't your own you shouldn't frame it in the first place, really.

Another option might be to have both the pages include the common content from some other source. See http://htmlhelp.com/faq/html/design.html#include-file
