Of all the block elements that could be (ab)used for a dropdown control
(without Clean Degradation, though), the `iframe' element appears to me
the least suited. Use a `div' element if you have to, use a `select'
element for Clean Degradation.

Which does not mean that you have to use it for the dropdown control.

Provided that the target iframe document is located on the same
second-level domain than the source document:

/**
* @author
* (C) 2003, 2004 Thomas Lahn <ty******@PointedEars.de>
* @optional Object o
* Object to be determined an method, i.e. a
* <code>Function</code> object assigned as property of
* another object. May also be a string to be evaluated
* and so is applicable to unknown properties.
* @return type boolean
* <code>true</code> if <code>o</code> is a method,
* <code>false</code> otherwise.
* @see #isMethodType()
*/
function isMethod(m)
{
var t;
(m = eval(m)) && (t = typeof m);
return (t == "function" || t == "object");
}

// Only if sub-level domains differ, see Same Origin Policy
document.domain = "my-second-level-do.main";

var
f,
d = (f = frames['myIFrame']) && f.document,
b,
textbox;

if (d
&& (b = d.body)
&& isMethodType("b.appendChild")
&& isMethodType("d.createElement")
&& ((textbox = d.createElement('input')))
{
d.body.appendChild(textbox);
}
can somebody help me out

Yes.
