IFRAMES as a buffer

Question

want to load some external content into a hidden iframe. The hidden iframe will function as a buffer from which i can load the content into a <div>. The reason i am attempting this approach is because the external pages are located on a different domain at my company and JavaScript Security will not allow iframe resize scripts to function correctly across the domains.

The problem is i am not well versed in javascript. I know this approach is possible.

I will not be able to add any code to the pages that will be loaded into the iframe.

Help! :cry:

javascript

Follow this tutorial;

My DHTML page below also uses this technique in a slightly modified way, though you have to be pretty advanced to understand how my code works from the DHTML Nirvana site.

Is there any way to use this solution without adding code to the pages that are going to be buffered by the iframe?

No your going to have problems becuase you cannot script across domains, i should have read your post more clearly as i missed that you wanted to do it across domains. Sorry about that, the solution above is only good for a single domain.
