page size to fit my site

I have been searching for a few days now with no luck.

I have a main page with links on the left side, in the center there is an IFRAME that loads pages inside it when you click on the links on the left.
The width of the IFRAME is about 600px.
I would like to click on one of my left hand side links called ORDER and then my zen-cart page must apear in the IFRAME.
That part is very simple but the problem is that I would like the user NOT to have to scroll sideways and can't seem to make the complete zen-page smaller in width to fit the IFRAME.

Please can someone give me some suggestions.
Thanks in advance.

You're trying to mix cheap beer (IFRAME) with priceless vintage champagne (ZEN CART). The two don't mix very well.

Stick with Zencart.

Re: page size to fit my site

Thanks for the reply.
The thing is that I am trying to create a site that is very simple with a smartish look and fast load times.
The shopping page is just a little extra that I would like to add.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Here is a link to my page.
The site will only be available to the public in a few weeks as we are still in the final manufacturing stage of the product, so I still have a bit of time to play around.

Once again any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Goeie dag, ou maat. Hoe lyk dinge daar in die Suid van Afrika? U is miskein een van die eerste coza zenners wat ek al ooit ontmoet het!

Wat u probeer om te doen kan eintlik met Zen Cart gemaak word... hou dinge skoon - maak geen gebruik nie van die vreeslik baie "add-ons" in Zen.

Ek glo dat die rede u probeer met Zen is om iets lekker to verkoop - as u wil iets verkoop, keis die regte software!

(Sorry about my rusty Afrikaans - 20 years since I had to speak it.)

With good planning you CAN create a clean, fresh look - switch of sideboxes (for the most part) use light colours and fonts. Try it without iframe.

Howzit Man
Do you miss being in South Africa?
Things in South Africa are lekker.
I must say that your afrikaans is allot better than mine, I had to read over 1 or 2 times before I undertood 100% what you had to say.

I will play around with zen-cart and see if I can achieve the look that I'm going for and at the same time I would still like to attempt adding a shopping section to my IFRAME.

Just for my own interest and for the benifit of my site, what is the reason that you or anyone else dislikes the IFRAME so much?

By the way any ideas on how I can try to achieve my original goal?

Thanks again for the advice

... It's part of the global MS conspiracy:cool:

No... I don't miss SA, as I still spend time there and half the family are still there. But having been subjected to the violent crime there just once too often kinda made up my mind for me and the kids...

But that's not the purpose of this forum.
