iFrame external website through Wordpress

    I've been trying to figure out a rather interesting problem. I have some sites that promote items for sale through external merchants. My sites are done in Wordpress. What I'm looking to do, is to make it so that when someone clicks from my site to buy an item, instead of my current setup, where the user is clicking an affiliate link redirect and going directly to an external url, my hope is that I can have the affiliate cookie dropped while loading the merchant website in an iframe, so their page will load, with my site's header at the top. I've done some research but found info a bit hard to come by. Does anyone know whether this is possible, and if so, what steps I'd need to take to do it?

    Thanks in advance for any information

    are you trying to iframe a particular area of a website and show that to your website? maybe you can create an html file with iframe and call that in a new page template with the code
    :)

    I my wordpress blog i have already installed a plugin called `Embed Iframe`
    This plugin allow you the insertion of code to display an external webpage within an iframe.
    You can use a simple command on any page or post
    [iframe url width height] for example
    [iframe http://example.com 400 500]
    Is really easy !!
