The OP example was a little bit more complex, since the iframe spanned the entire width of the table even through there were multiple columns. Would be cool to see what you could come up with for a multi-column example.
Check out the "multicol" versions at the same page as before: http://erikandcolleen.com/erik/projects/jquery/content_table/ I added highlighting and background coloring just like the OP. The first version is link activated just like the other versions. The second version is row activated, just like the OP. Also, these are both fixed width now. The only tricky bit was using $(...).show() doesn't work on a TR. Interesting side note on the highlighting. If the page inside the iframe doesn't set a background color, the highlight background color is used. See the Yahoo link for an example. Tested on FF2 and Safari. --Erik
