div vs. iframe for sandbox model

Need to host some formatted messages in div elements, so that the formatting will be completely independent from the enclosing pages' context (i.e. no properties should be propagated to my div and its inner elements).

Which would be the best/wise approach to implement that? For some (yet unknown to me) reason, iframe is considered as less-recommended than div, is it? Than, how can I really isolate the div from the context?

Or maybe, iframe for my particular case is the preferred option?

Thanks!

I am not a big proponent of iFrames, but this seems to be the reason they exist. I say go for it.

You could always reset all properties for the div in the stylesheet.

Use DIV Element (class or id for the formatting referenced in the CSS). I am not sure if iFrame is compatible with all browsers.
