1)Can I i-frame a WordPress page and cut the header off (not stealing stuff--it's from the same site, just trying to eliminate header redundancy

2)If I grab an i-frame from a forwarded page will I get the original or the page it is forwarded to?

    I'll try and reply to your first question.

    You could place the i-frame in a div container, specify height/width and use overflow : hidden....that would do kinda what you want, though the full page is still actually rendered and you are just blocking a portion from user view (unless they scroll up, of course).

    What is your site built with (html or Wordpress/Joomla/Drupal, etc..) that you need to think of a workaround in the first place? Just asking as this has not been an issue on sites that I have worked with/on. You want a 'page' within the same site to show up more than once? Or you want a 'page' on a site to show up within a different 'page' on that same site? I admit I am confused.

    Can you post the wordpress site and the page that you want to show up - and where you want it to show up again?

      The site is in WordPress. It currently has a nice carousel built into the theme that displays recent posts. I haven't found a plugin that does it as well. The site owner wants another plugin to display it's content on top of (before) that one.
      The carousel doesn't work when I change reading setting for homepage from 'display latest posts' to 'display a fixed page'.

      I was trying to avoid hacking the theme code but I think I may have to.

    Have you asked the theme developer for help? That might be faster and perhaps even free or very low-cost?

    Often, paid themes have forums where you can get peer-to-peer support.

      Its a free theme and his site is in German. Yes some of the theme forums have great support. Others like directorypress seem to just pretend to offer support.

    This has been bugging me all evening and the closest I have come is to call an anchor link, which works but it doesnt allow you to turn scrolling off..

    eg. <iframe src="#anchorlink"></iframe>
