If I were you, I would use JS.

JS Pros:-

  • No cookie restriction. IE rejects iframe cookies if P3P headers are not set.
  • No DOM access restriction. Interacting between JS codes in parent and iframe codes is not easy and needs workarounds. Not beautiful.
  • Performance is not a big deal for JS on today's browsers.
  • You get more flexibility here, because of first two points.

Which you feel is easier is debatable. I see no cons for JS.
