Benefits/Problems Q of using IFRAME instead of FP Module Insert Page

R

rfr

I have been using FP Module Insert Page moderately successfully for things
like header and footers for years.

But, in certain circumstances, the FP insert seems to include the WHOLE PAGE
again at the point where a simple module is inteded to be inserted. This
happens with certain pages more than others and does NOT happen all the
time. The non-consistent behavior \makes it nearly impossible to track down
the probem or to be sure the work-around that one implements does work.

I have use IFRAME in certain cases where the code is on another server. This
seems to work well. There are certain differences;
1. IFRAME WILL pay attention to any header CSS or JS code, where FP INCLUDE
doesnt
2. IFRAME seems to be a bit more picky about definition of width and length
than FP INCLUDE
3. IFRAME has NEVER doubled up on me.
4. Page counters via CGI do not get incremented on IFRAME documents as
reliably as when FP INCLUDE is used. I dont know why.

Have any of you decided to switch away from FP INCLUDE PAGE and start to use
IFRAME instead?

Have any of you tried to switch to using IFRAME for includes but found
reasons shy this is not a good idea?
