Hi guys! I'm messing around and trying to make a my page a certain way but I am having a hard time figuring out how to do what I am doing. First question is that I have heard about putting an iframe into a div and that is one thing I want to do. But I hate iframes because I cannot make the scrollbars cute and they always have a border. Is there any way to change that and make the iframe custom to your page?
also I was wondering if there is a way to make something like a blog where to update a new entry instead of having to go inside the html and write text in there with all the html tags... I mean... is there a way to be able to put a pure text type of thing where you can have you update it and then immediately on the page the changes will be there in the proper format? it is hard to explain but it is kind of like how livejournal or diaryland works where they have things like %%entry%%... do you know what I mean?
anyway thank you for your help :)

You can change the scrollbar colours to your iframe but using the usual CSS code but make sure you put it on the TARGET pages (so lets say the page home.html will open inside your iframe, put the custom scrollbar colours in the css script for home.html)...

And as for no border...try something like this this (this is my code for my page).

<iframe src="iframe.html" name="iframe" width="450" height="515" frameborder="0" scrolling ="yes" style="border:0; position:absolute; left:30; top:30"></iframe>

There are plenty of blog scripts like that. Most of them are actually. There is greymatter, movabletype, blogger, b2 and more. I think the best one for you might be blogger (http://blogger.com). Its easy, fast and reliable. All you need is FTP access. Try to find a host with ftp access. There are plenty of them. Like uk.geocities.com is good. good luck!

ok thanks guys :)
I think I will use blogger if I can figure out the ftp thing. Figures the border around the iframe would be fixed by something so obvious as frameboder="0" :p
