Iframes in Internet Explorer

rich_g85 · 5 Oct 2006 at 18:33

Evening all,
Is there any way of forcing IE to not display a border around an Iframe?

In my stylesheet, I've got the following:

Code:

iframe
{
    border: none;
    width: 755px;
    height: 390px;
}

Firefox handles it perfectly, while IE chooses to ignore it! :mad:

See http://anotheruseless.co.uk:82/body.htm for an example.

Any suggestions?

Why do you actually need an iframe there? Oh and the logo is shocking

Ignore the logo. And bear in mind this is a work-in-progress.

I need an Iframe (or some other method) to allow the viewer to scroll the content in the main window without scrolling the entire page if you see what I mean. So, I don't want the copyright statement to move, but I want more content than there is vertical space for in the middle.

Iframes aren't really a solution any more. The main arguments are that search engines have a hard time with them, and disabled users might not get on with them.

Get rid of the border by putting frameborder="0" in the html.

So I guess Iframes are yet another deprecated element

Hmm.. how can I acheive the same effect using an alternative method?

You can use css to (in certain browsers) keep the copyright bit at the bottom of the window, might look a bit rubbish though. I would just keep it static but visible at the bottom of each page.

Apparently copyright is assumed on websites, even without a notice. Theres a thread on it somewhere.
