Default IFRAME / MOZILLA FIREFOX / PROBLEMS!! - 03-29-2005 , 05:42 AM






This is actually my first venture into using IFRAMES. The client wanted a
site that was visually stimulating, and the design I came up with is fixed
width. I am using an IFRAME to display the "news" articles for the site.
In IE, everything works beautifully, however in FireFox, all I get is a
blank space where the iframe should be.

My code for the iframe is this:

<iframe width="100%" height="100%" src="./news.php" ></iframe>

The iframe field should stretch itself the entire length of the table cell
it's in, and scroll if content is larger than area.

The testing URL is:

http://www.heromythmusic.com

what's even more frustrating is I did a test IFRAME embedded in a table cell
and it works fine in Firefox! It's the exact same code!

Thanks to anyone that can shed some light on this.

Greg

That's a shame.

Why? What's wrong with including the news articles inline? That avoids the
many problems of frames (which are frequently discussed on alt.html and
comp.infosystems.www.authoring.html)

On those few occasions when I've fiddled with iframes, I've noticed that
Gecko doesn't seem to like percentile heights.

Abusing tables for layout too? Oh dear.

Ya know, why do you bother even replying? I'm sorry your "holier than thou"
ass is so good at web design you have to come poke fun at those of us that
aren't at your level. I'm glad your so smart that you waste your own time
to reply here with no useful information. Yeah, spacer gifs in 2005
BIATCH!.
