I am using iframe on my site to display a page on another server. I thought that iframe was supported from ie4 upwards but when I try it on ie5 (not managed to find a machine with ie 4 on it) that iframe is NOT displayed.

My page is here http://www.uea.ac.uk/~u9953418/questionnaire/ the code I am using for the iframe is <iframe frameborder=0 border=0 width=100% height=100% scr=http://www.thelittleredbarn.co.uk/sites/u9953418/personal.asp>;</iframe>
It looks fine to me but maybe someone here can spread a little light on a possible solution.

Thanks a lot to anyone who can help

I "may" have sorted out the problem. I think the ASP page that I was loading into the iframe was too large (I thought it would add scroll bars!!) but I have altered it a bit and one machine with IE 5 on it could now see it correctly!

It anyone has IE4, IE5 or NS6 then PLEASE could you have a look for me and see if it is ok on your machine.

Thanks

Hi Tom,

I tested it in IE4.0 and that worked OK.

In NN4.73 it don't work, but you probably already knew, because of your sentence: "Testing to see if this works on ie 5 and NS6 If you can see this text then the page has not loaded properly. Please go to http://www.thelittleredbarn.co.uk/sites/u9953418/personal.asp

Why don't you make a link:
Please go to <a href="http://www.thelittleredbarn.co.uk/sites/u9953418/personal.asp">

I think it's easyer for your users.

I hate to say it but I think you made a little mess of all your <TD>'s and <IMG SRC="images/spacer.gif" WIDTH=.... HEIGHT=....>'s and colspan's etc.

I have a screenwidth of 1074 and I see a horizontal scrollbar at the bottom of my screen that is generated in the questionnaire.html
I don't think this is necessary, because I see 40% of the screen at the right is blue without any functionality.

here is an example i don't get. I assume spacer.gif is 1 x 1 px. You only have to set the width and height in the TD then.
<TD width="95"> <IMG SRC="images/spacer.gif" WIDTH=34 HEIGHT=1></TD>

Maybe you can change it here and there.

Good luck.

Hi Boomerang

Thanks very much for your reply, and your suggestions.
I did try to put <a href="****"> but in the iframe it does not seem to work and produces an error. I do agree with you though that it would be better to make it a hyperlink if I could.

As for the "little mess" with the <TD>'s you are correct they are pretty bad and I have been trying to work out how to sort it out for a while now. I am not sure exactly what <TD> I need to set a width for, I tried it with the cell that contains the iframe (set it to width="195") but it had no effect. Any advice or tips on what <TD> to set the width on would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again for your help
