Question

Currently I am dynamically generating 1-(N) images via php GD based on user form input, and then posting into an iframe, that displays the image.

But theres a couple of problems:

1. Iframes seems to be a drag when styling.
2. The user dont seem to be able to “rightclick->saveas” the images properly when in iframes.

So are there any better methods for doing this?

Answer 1

Use a fixed size div element with overflow: scroll set on it.

For example:

#container {
    width: 600px;
    height: 300px;
    overflow-y: scroll; //vertical scrolling only
}

It behaves in the same manner as an iframe, but allows you better control of both content via javascript and styling via CSS.
