I have a web application that allows the user to fill out forms to submit clinical study data. On the front end I've built, there is a div tag with scrollbars (overflow) in the middle of the page that fills with the form the user has selected from the menu system (and by middle I mean that there's other stuff on all four sides of the div that I'd like to keep.)
Anyway this is working like a champ except that now it's time to generalize it for use with our other web entry product. This system can generate web forms that are already programmed to be understood by the system's engine. Unfortunately, all the form elements come out of this system surrounded by div tags using absolute positioning, and they're not in the right order to just change them to relative positioning. Therefore, it would be a pain to go in and rearrange everything to change it to relative positioning.
So, as I'd like to be able to use these forms as well, just not quite sure how to proceed. Is there a way to either get the div in the middle to act like a frame and display the absolute positioning as if it were it's own window, or , can I make that div into a frame window (and how would you do that with stuff on all four sides?)
Thanks
An <iframe>(inline frame) may just be the ticket for you.
