Overlib, iframe, other sites
I use this simple overlib to pull off a webpage preview on select sites I use. This realtime preview is much more appealling than the static webshot you see on websites using webpage preview features such as thumbnails. I'd be interested in knowing if anyone has a solution for constraining the content within the iframe. It would be a nice way to control the overlib size and resize the content to a certain window size, instead of having the overlib resize to the size of the content.
