Anyone know of a good place that will let me know which browsers will support the iframes tag?
Thanks in advance,

Welcome to the forums, bertraj.

Netscape 4 does not support the iframe element. However, Netscape 6+ does, along with IE 4+, and recent versions of Mozilla, Opera, and Safari for macintosh.

All modern browsers support it (IE as of version 3), the last one that didn't was netscape 4.x, which used the <layer> tag. If you nest the netscape equivalent like this:

<iframe src="test.html">
<layer src="test.html">
</layer>
</iframe>

your page will work on essentially all browsers out there, although you will get a validation error if you are using doctype html 4 or xhtml, but has zero affect on how your page will render.
