I solved this problem, i found some old code that i used on a project years ago that actualy takes the value of the iframe and posts it to a hidden form field so that UPDATE and INSERT behaviors can be applied...
Works beautifully witht he exception of some functionality that is missing. Check out the Javascript group if you want to see that question posted..
Code follows for all interested:

Hi,
An iframe is basically a separate webpage nested within another webpage.
So if you wish to load db content into it, you would simply just do it the same way for a normal page.
Is it possible to elaborate further on your idea?
Cheers!
