An iframe would solve the CSS issues, but introduces other quirks. My biggest objection to using an iframe is that it adds a set of scroll bars inside the middle of the page.
I have been able, in the past, to use a little javascript to modify the size of the iframe based on the size of the content of the frame with moderate success. Every browser behaves slightly different and isn't fool-proof. If anyone has had success with resizing iframes dynamically to avoid the scroll bars I would appreciate knowing. Thanks for all your help. -Scott -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Barney Carroll Sent: Wednesday, November 15, 2006 5:02 AM To: css-d@lists.css-discuss.org Subject: Re: [css-d] Disable CSS for a page fragment Stephan Wehner wrote: > IFrame? An iframe has its own body (I'm not exactly clear on governing factors here), and is effectively a window onto a new page. There are many arguments against frames as general layout practice but in this case it seems completely appropriate - any other method would seem to be trying to emulate this, and implicitly over-complicated. Simply give your frame src="[email's url]". > Presumably you would only need to undo those styles that "are > affecting the display of the embedded message." Maybe I've misunderstood - are you trying to remove styles called by/imbedded in the email itself? That'd be a little more finicky, but I imagine working from the basis of the iframe would already allow you to work on a sounder conceptual basis from there...
