iframe is going bye bye and <object> isn't supported b

I have an old (1999) site I am converting.

Ok that is all dandy and fine but it is frame heavy.

Most of our subsites and even our own we need to bring in content from other providers. In order to not take so many hits from the pop-up blockers and have pop-ups all over the place, so we stuck it in an iframe. (whew!)

Now iframes are going by the wayside.

I can get the content to work with the tag then closing it and sticking in all of the needed infos... but only in Opera and Firefox. Not IE.

Any suggestions? Question

RE: iframe is going bye bye and <object> isn't supported b

Are you sure the iframe is going "bye bye"? I understand that it has, or is, dropped from xhtml 1.1 (which you really should not be using anyway). If you want to validate your page against a strict doctype (be it html or xhtml) then an iframe is fine. It's not going anywhere soon.

I'm not too sure what you are doing, but this worked for me in IE7 (as well as FF and Opera). It'd probably need tweaking for ancient versions of IE however, like IE5 and lower.

Code:



To see it, the object must have a height and width, so in a stylesheet/block add something like:

Code:

#bar {width: 500px; height: 500px}
