Either way, your solution rocks and does what I've seen others not be able to do. I'll keep it filed away in my goodie bag for future use. Thanks for the help, Adam. Ok.

So you'd need to have control over: http://acme.com (your page) http://xyz.com (the content of the iframe) http://acme.com/iframe.html (your page that brings it all together) I don't think there's a way to do this if you don't have control over both domains unfortunately. Or at the very none that I know of. :/ Dallas,

I do not have access to acme.com/iframe.html, only the link to it. I cannot add anything to that particular page. So, I don't see how I will be able to create an iframe on acme.com. Hopefully it's not too confusing. It would be like trying to display google.com content after displaying search results. You don't have access to the google domain to add another iframe to communicate back to xyz.com. That would be my scenario. Maybe I'm missing something. I only have the link to the external source.
