IFRAME Help

[beefeater267]

why can't i see the IFRAME?

I simply put the following on my page... and I cannot see LINK1, LINK2.

<IFRAME style="filterrogidXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha(style=0,opacity=0);DISPLAY: visible; zIndex: 8; LEFT: 0px; POSITION: absolute; TOP: 0px; width=720px; height=50px;" src="" frameBorder="1" scrolling="no" >
<a href="">LINK 1</a> <br>
<a href="">LINK 2</a> <br>
</IFRAME>


Can anyone explain? I do not want to populate from an external HTML page.

Then why are you using iframe? Iframe is used to load another website inside the current website through a [tt]src=""[/tt] attribute. Looks to me you need a <div>.

Could you explain what you are trying to do with the iframe?

I'm stuck w/ the problem of a DHTML DIV being stuck UNDER a SELECT box in my navigation menu.

I read that using an IFRAME will solve this problem.

I found an example on the web yesterday but can't find it today of having an IFRAME and writing it's content w/ javascript. Can anyone give me an example on how to do this. I DO NOT want to populate the IFRAME from a SRC.

var daFrameDoc = document.frames['theFrame'].document;
daFrameDoc.open();
daFrameDoc.write("this will show up in the iframe");
daFrameDoc.close();

Can you not sort it with z-index?

You cannot fix stacking problems involving SELECTs with z-index. They are "windowed" controls and behave very badly. Using an iframe supposedly works (it used to be "windowed" itself, but not in newer browser according to MS. You can also hide the select and show it to prevent it from showing thru.

Couldn't you have just moved the Div or Select Box?
