Framing a partial page

I only want part of it to show

My clients run a mortgage broker business. They have a contract with a site that specifically handles pre-qualification, rates, etc. However, because that site is very generic, I have built a front end web page that links to the various pages on that site. (Does this make sense so far?)

Anyway, all of the pages on this other company's site have my client's banner, and various menu options. There is a page that has the current market snapshot on it, updated every half hour or so. It is an asp page and the snapshot is not in a frame or anything.

My clients would like just the market snapshot part of that page to show on their front page, as in framing just part of a page.

To make a long story short, is there HTML code that will limit the area shown for a linked page in a frame?

Short answer: no.
Long answer: You can do it using a PHP parser, or messing with CSS clipping, even though the latter is not reliable.

Unfortunately yes.

It's usually used by SE spammers to place hidden links, that can't algorithmically be detected.

...but that's not going to help tracylee, since someone else is controlling the other page.

Hmmm. OK, thanks for the replies. Does anyone know of a good Stock index plug-in?
