Show all headers | View raw

I am wondering what people's opinions are for the following.

I am storing a library of documents online (the directly viewable ones 
will be in HTML format - with other formats for the user to choose if 
they wish to download them).

Anyway -
I have main site with PHP scripts taking user selection and then 
providing the document for reading.
Since the documents are all stand alone html I want them to be viewed in 
the website - ie. I want the sites menu, banner, and footer displayed 
around the document.

Currently they are simply being read into the site's page but this is 
wrong since this means CSS definitions are being loaded inside the page 
body (not in the header).

I would like to keep the documents stand alone but also bring them in.
What would be the simplest method to load the document in?

I thought of iframes but I dislike that method. I could place the needed 
CSS definitions in the site's page but then if viewed alone the 
documents would not look right.

Like I said - any opinions?

If it is to complicated then I may just re-adjust the plan and force 
them to be viewed through the site's pages only.

Thanks
Mike
