Default Iframe size???

I am probably way over my head here, but, I will give it a shot because I am curious. I have my idx framed into my site. The IDX is too wide for the regular text section of the website so a special page had to be created without the left nav bar. So here is my question.

Is there a way to shrink the size of the page being framed in so that I can fit the whole thing in a regular page without having scrolling bars.

Just in case I'm not being clear. For the current frame to work without scrolling it has to be 650 wide by 1450 height. If I could shrink the size of the incoming page by 15% then it would fit on a regular page and look more like the rest of my website.

Any chance of that happening???

no because you cant control the other person website where the idx is coming from, i am having a problem with saved searches. I cant save because it always redirects back

I had the same issue, but I think it turned out decent enough... http://www.upmls.net/mls/ Everything seems to work great.

It just seems that you should be able to tell it somehow that you want it to shrink a little bit to fit inside a box

Except the page is wider than 800 pixels, necessitating a horizontal scroll bar to control the iframe window.

The mls itself is only 550, then 575 pixels after displaying search results.

I recommend that you remove the left-side nav column and fix the "viewable" portion at 780 pixels.

Except they have deliberately designed it to require a specific minimum width.
