I'm having a problem with the following html (I've simplified it down
to a simple test case). Could anyone point out why Mozilla is having
problems with this (I've tried so many variations that I can't think
of any more). In the actual code I have an if statement to handle IE
but I need the code to work in Mozilla and IE.

<HTML>
<BODY>
<IFRAME width="100" height="100" NAME="Compositi on" ID="Composition ">
</IFRAME>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaS cript1.2">

</SCRIPT>
</BODY>
</HTML>

Thanks if advance for any help!

1- There is no src attribute and src attribute value for your iframe here.

2- I strongly suggest you always give different and distinct attribute
values to id and name for several reasons: it helps code readability,
code debugging with debuggers, code review by others. I personally use
prefixing in this manner:

<iframe width="100" height="100" name="nameCompo sition"
id="idCompositi on">[Your user agent does not seem to support iframes or
is currently configured not to display iframes. If you're using Opera
6+, you can with File/Preferences...A lt+P/Page style/Enable inline
frames.]</iframe>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaS cript1.2">
language is a deprecated attribute; type has superseded language and is
both backward and forward compatible. So,

<script type="text/javascript">

</SCRIPT>
</BODY>
</HTML>

Thanks if advance for any help!

There is a much better way to do what you are attempting to do here.
Many months ago, I wrote a script just achieving what you want to do,
and it works extremely well for MSIE 6 for Windows, Mozilla-based
browsers (17 different browsers), Opera 7 and most likely other W3C web
standards compliant browsers. The code uses only valid W3C markup code,
valid css code and W3C DOM 2 properties and methods.

http://www10.brinkster.com/doctorunc.../MainPage.html

Opera 7 has a bug with disabling button while MSIE 6 for Windows has a
padding issue with iframes.
Don't bookmark the page as I'll probably tune and tweak again the page
and rename the page.

Ok. I remove the previous MainPage.html from my site.

http://www10.brinkster.com/doctorunc...ticIframe.html

is basically what you were trying to do. Because MSIE 6 does not support
contentDocument , it's preferable to avoid it and resort to another way
to reference the document: i.e.
frames["nameIframe "].document.[...]
which is more widely supported than
document.getEle mentById("idIfr ame").contentDo cument[...].

http://www10.brinkster.com/doctorunc...micIframe.html

is another variant where you try to dynamically modify a document
(inserting Hello) which is loaded inside a dynamically created iframe.
You'll see that Opera 7.x and Mozilla-based browsers are much more
powerful than MSIE 6 for windows in this sort of scripts.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
