IFRAME and Mozilla - does it exist?


Folks,

I've spent the past hour or so testing IFRAME with Mozilla 1.7.5 and not
getting it to work - Then... I thought I'd try it in IE, and my code
worked...

Thus... is IFRAME an IE only feature? I use Mozilla most often and I am
nearly sure that I have used a website that had an IFRAME like window...
is there another method?

I am working on an intranet based application which will have a Mozilla
dependancy hence the reason why IE is not an option.

Thanks

Moz does have iframe support; make sure your page has a proper doctype.

No, but it is a usability hazard.

Iframes *are* supported in Mozilla. If you can't get it working, post a
URL.
is there another method?


Yes. But what method to use depends on what behaviour of iframes you're
trying to duplicate.

Sebastien,

Thanks - I went searching on the web and found a blog that used an
IFRAME which worked in Mozilla... I inspected it and discovered that
the 'src' tag is mandatory (its been ages since I used any sort of
frames in html and I had tried to place my code inside the iframe tags
as opposed to call an external page).

anyway... I got it working - thanks for the help - I just needed
confirmation that I recalled correctly that I had infact seen an iframe
tag working with mozilla...

cheers

IE --yes, Mozilla --yes, Opera --yes, Netscape --yes ....... even old
4.7x Netscapes (although the Iframe opens in a new window in that case)
is there another method?
Yes ....... and No.

Depends on what you want to do.

Do you want to load variable content into the Iframe? Or is the content
fixed when the page loads?

In Mozilla, the following code seems to resize correctly the IFRAME, so no scroll bars: <iframe marginwidth=0 marginheight=0 src=text.html onload="this.height= this.contentDocument.height"> </iframe> Of course a frameborder=0 can be desiderable too :-)

I have had great success with using <iframe> with overflow-y set to auto. I can get a similar look with the <iframe> tag. BUT... In all cases I need to have fixed heights. Is there a way to put either tag inside an HTML <TD> and have the same kind of scrolling effect. This would allow me to fill the screen and have the size of the scrolling box change on resize. Thanks in advance.

If you run the following simple line of code in Mozilla the webpage loads fine.

I have a rather complicated business application that uses Ajax. Part of this form requires uploading documents, which I cannot do using Ajax, so I post the form to an IFrame. This part works just fine. The problem I have is that my server process returns some content to the IFrame to complete form processing and to report any errors that might have occured. Here's an example of what may be written back: <html> <head>
