If you really want to use the IFrame, then you need to design your pages with a fixed width table,
say 750 pixels, and then determine a fixed width and height for the IFrame which would be placed in
a table cell, allowing space for your page header, sidebar and footer, these 3 items could all be FP
Include Pages.
