Netscape and IFrames

They just don't work...

[Bran]

I want to put a calculator from a 3rd party site in the middle of my page.

This I can do very neatly in IE with IFrames but it doesn't work in Netscape.

Do I need to do a separate Netscape page or is their a way of making the one page work in both browsers?

You can wrap the <iframe>area</iframe> in <ilayer>tags</ilayer>.

This will allow netscape to display the initial iframe URL... but if there are links for navigating *within* the iframe, they won't work in ilayers (the iframe internal links will open in a new browser window).

ilayers also have different positioning and sizing syntax than iframes.

Big pain in the rear.

B*****ks - thats the problem I have encountered.

Guess its 2 pages then.

Thanx.

You can use your iframe, just add content between the iframe tags for older browsers:

<iframe src="calculator.htm" name="cipher" width="360px" height="300px" align="left" frameborder="0"><strong>Want to see a neat calculator?</strong><i>Your browser does not support iframes but we have not forgotten about you!</i> Just click the the following link to go the the caclulator page: <LINK TO CALCULTOR PAGE></iframe>

Win/Win solution.

Great idea papabaer - I'll try that one for sure.
