The only alternative to using IFRAMEs to load dynamic content (after the page has loaded) is using AJAX to update a container on your web page. It's pretty elegant and usually faster than loading a full page structure into an IFRAME.

• Ajax with JQuery (use this and you will be loved on SO; the AJAX functions are great and simple)
• Ajax with Prototype
• Ajax with MooTools
• Standalone Ajax with Matt Kruse's AJAX toolbox (Used to use this, using JQuery today because I needed a framework)
• AJAX with Dojo (Said to be fast, but AJAX is not as straightforward)
