here is what i have so far - http://www.macsubculture.com/dev/iframe.php

i got it so the iframe is generated when some one directly links to something within my forum. only two problems left.

1) i have javascript in place that checks for the iframe. if it doesn't exist then you are redirected to iframe.php and the url of the page the user was original trying to load is passed to iframe.php through the url. the problem is that the iframe src that is passed through the url is getting truncated at the first ampersand. example:

a user links directly to one of my forums and is redirected to this url - http://www.macsubculture.com/dev/iframe.php?iframesrc=http://www.macsubculture.com/dev/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=26 . the ending of the url (in bold) is truncated so that the iframe's src loads a page that says "no forum specified". it's getting confused because it thinks the &forumid=26 is a query of iframe.php . do you see the problem here? it's kind of like putting a string value within quotes, except you can't do that with urls.

anyone know how i could fix this?

2) the iframe's height. the iframes height is fixed at 600 pixels. ideally i would like a way to auto adjust the iframe's height to the height of the page inside the iframe... this way i could do away with the iframe's scroll bar and the iframe would be completely transparent to the end user. i haven't found a way to do this yet. in the meantime i'm just using a scroll bar.

is it possible dynamically change the height of the iframe like that?
