Hi-

I'm new to this posting so bare with me.

I have a web site that uses iframes and looks and works just fine in safari. However, in explorer the iframe page, for some reason, doesn't show the entire page. I scrolls down half the page but even though there is more content on the rest of the page it doesn't show half the page. I'm not sure if this is an html problem or compatability problem.

Please help!

Thanks

Welcome to the forums, jqsmack. Have you validated your documents? Both the page itself and any page that displays within the iframe.

W3C Validator - HTML [validator.w3.org]

For the benefit of any others who ever read this thread, do you mind sharing what you learned about this problem?

I noticed that I had set the table height at 100% for the page being viewed in the iframe. My guess was that it limited the page to 100% of the iframe viewable area. So I simply went to the html code and deleted that part, or rather set my height to nothing. Not "0" but nothing. Now it views the entire page.

What made this weird, of course, is that only IE had a problem with this. Every other browser viewed it just fine. Kinda lame, but I'm a mac guy anyway.

Thanks again for the heads up on the code checker.
