using CSS to imitate iframe

[dtang4]

I think I've seen this before, but I can't remember the code at all.

Is there a way to create a textarea that has html inside without showing the html tags? In other words, create an effect that looks exactly like an iframe tag but not an iframe.

Thanks in advance.

Yes, just create a div, assign it a height and width and set the "overflow" property to "auto":

Yep. I know I've used this technique before, and the only thing I can remember distinctly is cross-browser problems I don't think the site worked at all in netscape, although that could be unrelated to that css code.

That's alright. Iframes don't work in Netscape either.

iframe works in NN6 but not in NN4

dtang4,

I think you're going to have the same NS4 problems either way, whether you decide to use an <iframe> or CSS. NS4 doesn't support the <iframe>, and it hardly supports CSS, so take your pick.
