I maybe wrong in my approach here but I created an HTML5/Javascript container that uses javascript to glow the text and to use a countdown. I was however able to achieve the iframe result i was seeking after great difficulty but the only thing is that the background color of the page on which i have the widget if you will is in red color so now wherever the iframe is being embedded it moves around the widget and shows the background color.
I thought of changing the color to white but that still has problems with the positioning so I am wondering if there are something that i need to fix on the page OR how do i make sure only the part i want from the page is embedded?
Without more information this is a long shot but try to put a
background-color:transparent; on the offending widget or simply do not use a background color on it so that is does not overflow your desired space.
