Running SCP in an iframe; how do I...

I need to run Shopping Cart Pro in an iframe because the store must be embedded in a web site where the store is only accessible to our members who have logged in.

The iframe seems to work for us but with one glaring glitch. When someone returns from paying through PayPal the screen that opens up is not the screen the user started from, i.e. the one embedded in the iframe but the shopping cart its self (whole screen) without the menu items around it that were/are there around the iframe code.

Can anyone tell me what I can do/alter to make the return from PayPal show up in the SCP that is displayed in my iframe?

Let me get this straight: You go to paypal in an iframe, but the return from paypal alters your page without changing the contents of the iframe. Correct?

If so, I'd assume the Paypal return statement doesn't account for being inside an iframe, and you should contact Paypal customer service for assistance if possible. If they don't respond, or don't know how to help, we'll have to do some digging on their developer forums. :)
Aren't you a little short for a Storm Trooper?

Have something to add? We’d love to hear it!
