Mini chat bar integration with website

    We are having production VPS ( CentOS linux ) server having a Dating Site on Cpanel.
    I have another Development VPS server which has Openfire along with Gmail / Facebook mini chat & Apache ( HTTPD ).
    Don't want to compromise on Website services being UP & working rather than just chat services. I mean want to mitigate the risk of overloading the singe
    production VPS. Hence decided to be on two different servers. I mean if Chat server goes down, Website will be up & running with basic search facility.
    All the users on my Dating website gets updated the XMPP Openfire DB on Nightly script. In the nutshell So all users are available on Chat server via Openfire DB.
    Chat Mini is on Development server along with Openfire & APache ( HTTP )

    Now issue I am facing is my dating site integration with Chat Mini which is just at right bottom bar. I mean my Dating site is on PHP & MYSQL
    & planning to use Iframe to load the Chat Mini. But with Iframe, I have small restricted area to Chat. Mini chat need to increase as more
    chat session are initiated. In such case, due to Iframe, Website is not being visible enough. I am not sure whether iframe is correct approach.
    Please advice on how to integrate in such scenario.

    In continuation with above issue, I facing very weird problem. The chat bar comes fine in all browsers except IE7. In IE7, it is coming almost 500px up near the end of iFrame ?

    <div id="iframe_div" style="right: 0px; bottom: 0;display: block; zindex: 9999; border: 0px solid #ff0000; position:fixed;">
    <iframe frameBorder="0" src="http://www.example.com/chat.html?userid" width="215px" height="500px" SCROLLING="no"></iframe></div>

    Please help. I don't know why the height in IE7 for Iframe is working incorrectly. Rest all browser the mini chat bar is coming at bottom while just in IE7 it is having additional height coming at Center of that Iframe...

    This issue is resolved. IE7 was running in quirks mode. Thanks.
