Sorry if I'm repeating the question - quick search didn't find the answer...

Is there a way to force my own formatting (just font size and color) of pre-formatted text within IFRAME which I can't format directly?

You have to explain a bit more eaxtly what you are looking for.

Are you asking how to change the look of a page you are browsing in your own browser or are you making a webpage which links to an external page you have no access to or something else?

Second option. My IFRAME contains a simple HTML text page which is returned by a Perl script on my site.

I can't edit the returned text directly, it's pre-formatted. So, I noticed that IFRAME has STYLE as a parameter. Does it mean that in conjunction with DIV tag I can affect IFRAME's content? Can I "overlay" it with my custom font size and color formating?

Well theoretically I assume you should be able to do something like

iframe p {color:blue;}

Havn't tried it myself though.

Of cource if you have the ability to place a link to an external stylesheet in the file you import via iframe, they that would be the easiest solution.
