I'm using the Easy Fancybox plugin for wordpress - mainly because my web design skills are limited and I find plugins to be somewhat helpful with that challenge. What I'm trying to accomplish is this...
1. I have a floating contact button image on the left of my page. 2. When you click that button, the iframe opens up in a fancybox window. 3. Inside this fancybox window should be a contact form matching the one on my contact page.
I've scoured the internet for hours and have gotten as far as setting up the floating contact button and having that open up the fancybox iframe. Can't figure out how to get the contact form to show up properly in the iframe. Currently I've just embedded the actual contact page in the iframe, which is basically the exact opposite of what I want to happen.
You can see what I'm talking about on my web page here: http://www.brycerafflesound.com/contact-4/
I later found this thread in the wordpress forum but haven't had any success following the suggestions there. http://wordpress.org/support/topic/display-page-with-fancy-box-without-header

Update: I've managed to have some success by adding a custom theme to wordpress as per the link I'd posted on wordpress support.
But still have a few issues with it, #1 being that the contact button actually shows up in the fancybox-iframe window
#2 the size of the fancybox is way bigger than necessary, which looks terrible.
#3 Vertical scrollbars are still there.
Any help with those issues would be greatly appreciated.

You'll be better off posting on the dedicated WordPress forum http://wordpress.org/support/plugin/easy-fancybox where I'll respond to your WordPress plugin related question :) but as a quick pointer I think you might be better off using Inline mode instead of Iframe mode. You can see some tips on how to display inline content (like a contact form) in FancyBox on http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/easy-fancybox/faq/
