iframe working with firefox or safari

[stax]

Hi,

I have an iframe set inside a table that loads html from an external text file. It works in IE but not firefox or safari, is this command just for IE?

<iframe name="div_products" scrolling=no frameBorder=0 width="152" height="24"></iframe>
<script
language="JavaScript">
frames['div_products'].location.href='

http://www.digital-redux.com/div_products.txt';

</script>


Can anyone shed any light on this?

Why are you doing that? It would be much simpler (and correct iframe syntax) if you did it right:

<iframe name="div_products" scrolling="no" frameBorder="0" width="152" height="24" src="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.digital-redux.com/div_products.txt"></iframe>[/URL]

I would guess your javascript uses IE proprietary collections, which makes it not work.

Thanks Vragabond, i correct that, the reason i was doing it that way was because i followed a tutorial on iframe. It still doesnt work in mozilla browser though, so is iframe not compatable with those browsers?

I think I know what your problem is. IE appears to render the Select box from your text file correctly. It doesn't care its a text file. However Firefox, knows its text and as such ignores the HTML in it, and just displays it as is.

Try changing the extension of your file div_products.txt to div_products.html.

That way both browsers will render it correctly.
