Hi! I hope you can help me because I've been looking for hours for a good solution to this and with my limited web knowledge I can't seem to find one.

What I do know: XHTML, Some JavaScript and bits of everything else.

I'm looking to replace an iframe possibly with a div or object tag but I need it to be able to either load html or provide an easy to understand (by me) loading of data (xml?).

I also want to be able to scroll the data without a scrollbar from seperate images.

If you need more explanation please ask me because I'm lost and I've tried many "almosts".

If the data you are loading is from your domain itself then you can even try to use AJAX (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AJAX) for the loading purpose when you need that content.

If the data you are loading is from your domain itself then you can even try to use AJAX (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AJAX) for the loading purpose when you need that content.
And a (very basic) example would be:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

<html>

<head>

<title>Htranscluder</title>

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Style-Type" content="text/css">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Script-Type" content="text/javascript">

<script type="text/javascript">
document.includeWrite = function (url) {
if ('undefined' == typeof(url)) return false;
if (window.XMLHttpRequest)reqWrite = new XMLHttpRequest()
else if (window.ActiveXObject){
try {
reqWrite = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP")
}
catch (e){
try{
reqWrite = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")
}
catch (e){}
}
}
reqWrite.open("GET",url,false); reqWrite.send(null); document.write(reqWrite.responseText);
}
</script>

</head>

<body>

text
<script type="text/javascript">
document.includeWrite('includeme.html')
</script>
<p>text</p>

</body>

</html>

which would include includeme.html.
