Whats the alternative to using frames in this case

[Torkani]

Hi there everyone,

I'm new to web dev so this will prob be a simple one.

Basically I have a web page which is created by user input. The web page then displays all the information in the appropriate layout. It is then used as an emailer, i.e. the source is viewed and embedded into an email.

Sooooo what i would like to do now is provide a way of emailing the page on the page itself. So up the top it will have a small area with an input box for the user to place an email address and a button to send and below that will be the actual content i want sent, obviously when the page is sent i don't what this top section to appear.

What would be the best way to do this. The only way i can think of is using a separate frame for the top half and bottom half and then just saving the bottom frame - the one i want sent. Is there a better way as i know frames are frowned upon.

Thanks alot

Since you will have to regenerate the content to place in the email anyway, just leave out the part of the content that you don't want to include.
