I'm trying to do something with iframes and i'm not sure if this is possible. I have a module inside a table inside a div. The Module has a lot of stats assosiated with it, I have a button that will show and hide those stats, when the stats r showen the table and div get bigger.

I have 6 of these type modules and I'm hoping to only make one html page for each, but i have to put them all together into on big page. I'm trying to do so with iframes, but when i turn on the stats i get the scroll bar if i make the frame too small, but if i make it big enough i get a lot of white space. Is there a way to make the iframes to resize themselves depending on the content inside???
Also any other solutions to make this look good would be apreciated.

My boss has already vetoed poping up a stats box. My only other solutions is to make one big page without the iframes and just place the divs everywhere, but then i have to recreate all the background lua and ada code for these....or i can try to formal the modules so that the stats r always onscreen, but they r mostly useless except for very rare times and so i think they would just clutter the page....any suggestions r appreciated...thanx.

As far as i know there is no easy way(or any way) to resize an iframe to its contents, i've been trying to do that with my webpage for ages and i just never found a way to do it. In theory it should be possible but it would require the page in the frame to call a function in the topmost page to resize.

Other then this i'm not sure what you want is in terms of looks and such, i didn't quite get a clear idea of your situation.
