Re: iframes

The main thing I've found iframes good for is if your server doesn't support server side includes, or if you want to continuously refresh an included page.

For example, on my website, I had a little #include that showed a live stock price. But, it's written directly into the DOM tree, so you can't refresh the #include without refreshing the entire page. Using an iframe can allow you to get around that. The only problem is that you have to make sure you're going to be ok at all resolutions (as was mentioned earlier).
