Problem displaying an Iframe in Internet Explorer

Trouble shooting an issue with watermarks and Iframes in IE

[Bman_39]

I'm having an issue with an iframe page using a watermark background image. The page works fine in Netscape, and IE on a Mac. But when I view the page in IE on a PC it doesn't load the iframe.

It it possibe that you have Iframes disabled in your internet settings for IE?

I've had the same issue on every PC I've viewed the site on. Is it a default that Iframes on turned off in IE?

[cmatcme]

Nope. But you can check.

Tools --> Internet Options --> Security --> Internet Zone --> Custom Level --> Miscellaneous --> Launch programs and files in an IFRAME.

If it's unchecked there's your problem ;)

I updated the settings, but I'm still running into the same issue.

[mack]

Do you have service pack 2 instaled? It is possible that SP2 is blocking your IFramed content. Try viewing the page in another IE pc, to determine if the fault only occurs on that one system.

Also anti-spyware and anti-adware programs may be blocking the "miscellaneous" code. Try disabling that temporarily and try.

I turned off anti-spam and still the same problem.

Also removed the watermark background and still couldn't load the page in IE on a couple different PC's.

If it makes any difference I'm working on an ASP page not HTML.

[mack]

have you testied it on more tham one windows/ie system.

I've tried on at 4 different computers all with the same results. Three of them on different networks.

sure is unusual...

Canyou show us the soce you use to include the iframe on your page. Please use example.com to show your reference.

We should be able to help out a lot more if we can see code.

Here's the code I used

<iframe src = "http://example.com"
height= "457"
width = "654"
scrolling = "auto"
frameborder = "0">

Thanks for all the help

[mack]

The only thing that springs to mind is the oframe tag doesn not look to have been closed properly.

<iframe src = "http://example.com"
height= "457"
width = "654"
scrolling = "auto"
frameborder = "0">
Frame content
</iframe>

I made sure to close the statement. and I still having the same problem.

Page was built in Dreamweaver, if that makes any difference

Here's my code:

<tr>
<th height="142" scope="col"> <Iframe src="order.php" width="450" height="650"></Iframe></th>
</tr>

It displays great in netscape 8 and firefox but table is empty in ie6 and xp pro and home sp2.

Well, I dinked with it and now it will display in ie *but* not firefox.

Thanks All!

I changed the file extension from .php to .html and voila!

Works in both ie and ff.

I'll be doing no more compatibility testing tonight.
