OK, heres the problem ...when i insert <iframes> then few the results of my page in explorer everything looks OK, but when i switch my browser to safari the frame is in the middle of the page overlapping everything else.<br />
<br />
do you guys need more info or need to see the code to help me out? if it helps i was trying to place the iframe inside of a table, which i think i did correctly?? as i said the positioning is ok using explorer but not safari. i know i must be doing something wrong coz i can view other sites that use iframes fine using both browsers.<br />
<br />
Cheers!<!--content-->Yes, we will need to see the code. Or, preferably, linkage to the page in question.
<!--content-->heres the code. the sites not up so i can't provide a link. i'm a bit of a newbe<br />

Technically it isn't, since you are using absolute positioning to position the iframe. Absolute positioning removes an element from the document's normal flow, so the other elements don't even know it exists, and thus act as if it doesn't.<br />
<br />
Why are you absolutely positioning the iframe? Can you just slap it in the table cell "as-is"?<br />
<br />
Also, could you provide the entire code? Attach it as a text file...?<!--content-->OK, i'm kinda following you on this one, so i need to amend the code by removing absolute positioning? attached is the txt file with the full code.<!--content-->Whoa... something up with that attached file.
<br />
<br />
Anyways, yes, just remove the absolute positioning from the iframe code, and you should be all set to go.<!--content-->could you not open the file? if theres something wrong with it it might be coz i created it using mac osx.<br />
<br />
anyway, you sir are a gentleman and a scholar. problem solved.<br />
<br />
Cheers mate!<!--content-->Originally posted by tarka <br />

I could open it, there was just a jumble of characters at the top of the document, and a bunch of backslashes; at the beginning and the end of a line. <br />

Awesome! Glad to help.
<!--content-->just one other thing .....the frame in explorer has a slight 3d type shadow on the left and top edges. how do i get rid of it so the frame has a flat appearance? in other words i just want the frame to be less obvious so all you see are the scroll bars? again, in safari the frame looks cool but explorer has a ****ty way of displaying things, and i know its something to do with my coding coz other sites which use iframes look fine using both browsers.<br />
<br />
i amended my code to look something like this...<br />

Perhaps it can be modified to work in IE without using presentational markup.<!--content-->Paul Jr, you are on fire! thanks again for the help. sorted<br />
