    Using iFrames Results in Access Denied for my mySQL script

    This really surprised me. I setup an iFrame in my document to display
    data from another table. For me, this was a way to be able to update
    that data without having to reload the whole page. Also, the iFrame
    gives me the ablity to have a scrolling table of results that doesn't
    fill up the whole screen when a lot of data is present.

    when I read in the main page, the src of the iframe is set to a URL
    like http://www.myserver.com/myiframe.php (the same server that the
    parent page is on)

    in that source file is a call to my mysql server to retrieve the data

    But I keep getting an "access denied" error message

    If I put the code in the main page, it works fine, but if I try to
    load it into an iFrame I get the access denied message from mysql.

    I understand that security has been tightned on iFrames, but being
    that this is on the same server as the parent page, I can't see why
    this is happening, or how to work arouund it.

    Is there something else I can use besides an iFrame to reload only a
    portion of a page, and also have that portion in a fixed size view
    that will enable scroll bars if the content is larger than the desired
    size?
