Help, Almost full page iFrame

Hi all,
I hate IFrames, but I am faced with a issue where I have to use one (or an <object> ). So please don't flame me about good coding, because my hands are tied on this one.

Ok so I have this page that on the left hand side I have navigation bar that is 188px wide. On the right of that nav bar I have an iFrame. the problem is getting that iframe to fill the rest of the page width and the expand the complete height of the page. No matter what I do, it doesn't seem to work.
Can someone help me with this or point me in the right direction. If I need to use javascript, thats fine.

Have you tried to use CSS on the iFrame?

A link to your page would help to solve this. I think you could just use <iframe class="cssstyle">, but I'm not really sure that is valid since I never use iFrames. The css would look something like this:

.cssstyle
{
height: auto;
width: (pagewidth)px;
}

Code (markup):

I hope it helped you,

thanks for the reply.
a sample page would be http://www.cooljoomla.com/07-2008/page/
Height seems to be fine, its getting the width to go correctly since there is all ready 188px of space taken.

I had to do similar to this for work a few weeks back when the client misunderstood the concept of different platforms and we had to represent a form built in ASP.NET on a tomcat server. Heres a link to the best solution I found http://www.dev-explorer.com/articles/full-page-iframe its pretty straight forward to implement

Good Luck

Thanks for the code. I just create my own with your css code, but i change the height into landing site height.
