iframes: NS vs. IE

opening local page in iframe

[victoryrun]

Hello everyone...

I have a page on my website that is a 'portfolio' page. I have a list of links and an imbedded iframe tag. When you click on one of the links it opens the corresponding file IN the iframe. Everything works fine except in IE, the link that is 'open' suddenly dissapears. For instance:
Link One
Link Two
Link Three
And you've clicked on 'Link Two' and the page "Link Two's Page" pops up into the iframe. In NS, it works the way I would like it to, but in IE, the words Link Two dissapear! (I'd give a link for an example, but don't want to violate the rules. :D)

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Ramsey

The links are not floated, are they?
When you say "disappear", can you elaborate on what exactly is happening?

[victoryrun]

No, not floated. Here's the code....

<table width="100%" border="0" align="center">
    <tr valign="top">
    <td class="bodytext"><a href="portfolio/link1file.html" target="frame1">Link One</a><br>
    <a href="portfolio/link2file.html" target="frame1">Link Two</a><br>
    <a href="portfolio/link3file.html" target="frame1">Link Three</a> </td>
    <td width="300"> <iframe name="frame1" src="/portfolio/start.html" width=300 height=400></iframe></td>
    </tr>
   </table> 

Hope that helps some... This is really confusing me. When clicking on Link One, the page comes up fine, but the words Link One from the left column of the table are gone... you can move your mouse in that area and see the link... it's almost like the link's text color turns to the same color as the background.

What's the link color, and the background color?
Are you using CSS to style the links?

[victoryrun]

Yes, I'm using CSS... I started looking at my CSS file, and I think I've found the problem... Let me play with it for a second and I'll update you...

Thanks for the push in the right direction!

Ok, I have figured out the problem. The CSS was causing probs with IE -- the code for the active link had an almost exact same color as the background, so when it was clicked it looked like it was gone.

Thanks for everyone's help!
