There is no easy way of doing this as the html on that site will probably rely on css on that site also. If you take a section of the html and inject it into your page then it probably won't look the same as you don't have the supporting css. The target site will need to support some mechanism whereby it will return to you just the bit you are interested in (so you can use an iframe), or you will need to ensure your css supports their html, so there is no real way of doing this without changes to the target site to make it easier.

You can't use an iframe to show part of a page unless the site you are trying to access implements something that lets your site do this.

You need to change the site you are linking to so that you can agree some kind of url structure for rendering only part of the page, like "http://server/page.aspx?section=abc" means that page.aspx only renders the "abc" section of its page rather than the whole page. You then make your iframe src point to that url and only the "abc" section will appear.
