Re: have problems with div's

ok

lets say that the following are set using the command parent....... from
another iframe.

bAvocado=""
bButterSquash=""
bCauliflower="some data"
bCornOnCob=""
bCucumber="some more data"
bGarlic="more data"

the following is in a seperate iframe page

<div id="bAvocado"></div>
<div id="bButterSquash"></div>
<div id="bCauliflower"></div>
<div id="bCornOnCob"></div>
<div id="bCucumber"></div>
<div id="bGarlic"></div>

the above would produce this in the iframe that the div's are displayed in.

top of page shown by the -----


-----------


some data

some more data
more data
======== this is the end of the page.


what i would like the display to look like is this.

----------- top of the page
some data
some more data
more data
