displaying gallery on an iFrame-like Dynamix Ajax Content box

Hello, i'm new to the forums, and really don't like asking for help on these things, but i've been stuck on this project for a while and have finally decided to ask someone, somewhere for help.

I'm new to php, i can somewhat get around with javascript,and i have the basics of html down, so go easy on me lol.

Alright, what I want to do is display my zenphoto Albums within an iFrame-like content box (it isn't iFrame to be specific, it's a dynamic Ajax-based content box)
The entire website i'm working on is based on this, and i wanted to carry it on into the gallery.
here's my website:
http://www.healingwolfjewelry.com
you'll need javascript on in order to display it i think.
anyways yeah, I was able to display a portion of the albums page, but it gets cut off at the bottom, and when i click on an album it directs me away from the main page.

What i need help with is setting the height of the albums so it doesn't get cut at the bottom, and i also want it to display the next page of albums and the album itself within the same content box, without directing the whole page away.

Also: i got this Ajax code from this website, if it helps:

http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex17/ajaxcontent.htm

please, a point in the right direction would be a godsend!

EDIT: Sorry for posting this twice, i didn't see the subforums before.

    No problem, I have deleted the double post.

    I suggest not to use that quite old script (activeX..) but maybe using jQuery which we have already on board as our default libary which might be more convenient. Anyway it is doable but you will have some work ahead as you probably won't be able to use the the standard theme way. You will need to get familiar with php and Zenphoto's internals to achieve this. I recommend first to read our theming tutorial to learn about the standard way if you haven't already and then to look at the php classes for the object orientation way on our documentation.

    Regading the cutoff at the bottom. Well, html is a kind of relative, so in different browsers (and versions) it might look different.

    Sorry that I can't give any more direct tips bBut that exceeds our resources on this forum. Futher questions of course are welcome.

    the ends justifies the means, so how do i go about it on jQuery then? is it relatviely the same as what you described above for ajax content box?

    also, thanks for responding!

    It was just a suggestion. I have never tried what you would like to do. jQuery is a js/ajax libary. You would have to look at its own site and documentation on http://jquery.com/
    Note that we still use an older version because of some dependencies.

    not exactly what i was hoping for, but it's definitely a step in the right direction;
    thanks for your time!
