try again: How to keep the Lib. doc. in the frame?

I have a very basic document library but when I open the document it opens
full screen. How do I restrict the doc to opening only within the web part
frame?

You'd have to write a custom Web Part that uses an IFrame to show the
document within thwe web part.

The way I would do this is by making it a connectable web part and
connect it to the document library web part so that when a user selects
the document, it opens in the "viewer" web part.

<brainstorming>
Sounds like an interesting idea now that I think of it. It would be
great for showing "rendered" versions.

I can see a document library web part with AutoCAD documents displaying
it. The web part is connected to this "renderer" IFrame web part. when
the renderer web part received the connection data, it uses a
conversion engine to convert it to a pdf and display it to the user.
</brainstorming>

Many thanks for your help Jay. This method sounds really painful tho.

I did something similar for Visio documents
See http://www.wssdemo.com/Pages/visio_demo.aspx?menu=Demo's
I just replaced the Web Part Zone with an iFrame using FrontPage.
If you search my blog for iFram you will find some script to make the iFrame
resize when the browser is resized so that you don't get two vertical scroll
bars like this

Also, check out my post on the Autodesk viewer

Ian - sorry to take so long. Your example is exactly what I want to do. I am
reading your blog demo to see how you did it.
Thank you.

Hi Jay , I tried to create the web part with iframe but it seems to be beyond
my abilities. Do you know of one out there?
