Clearing IFrame SRC property works from Mozilla/FireFox but not IE

I have Javascript code that clears the SRC property of an IFRAME during the
onload event of a web page, if a certain flag is set. In Mozilla/FireFox
the clearing of the SRC property works fine and the browser does not attempt
to load the document. That document being the one that was specified in the
SRC property, before it was erased.

In Internet Explorer, the code appears to clear the SRC property properly.
If I trace the code, the MSDEV debugger does show the SRC property as empty
after the statement that clears it. However, the browser still tries to
load the document specified in the SRC property despite the fact it does
*not* display the contents of the document in the IFRAME.

I know it's still trying to load the document because the document is a PHP
document running in the Zend PHP debugger, with a breakpoint set in it.

How can I stop IE from trying to load the document?

Thanks.

Don't know if this is the right place to post this JavaScript issue. If not, could someone point me in the right direction please. I am trying to make a "cross browser compliant" floating iFrame. Not real fancy, just load, resize and move. But, I do not have the browsers, OSs and different machines (like Mac) to test the code on. So I need some help to see where this basic example of works and does not work.

Hi All, Is the following possible, and if so could someone show me some example code please :o) I have a web page with several iframes, and I want to be able to refresh them only not the entire web page but also to refresh them at different time intervals. I've tried a few ways but it ends up refreshing the entire page, doh. I've tried with DIV's and objects aswell but no joy, I'm sure it must be possible and I'm been a thicket ;o)
