Thanks in advance for your kind help.
My site makes use of an IFRAME to load content. I have placed the IFRAME within a div, however if I try to insert any content a certain amount below the IFRAME code, it disappears.
Somehow, the IFRAMEs' properties are preventing more content from being rendered.
There is too much code on the page to put here, so I would appreciate if someof you could look at the page, (IE5+) and see if you can't add stuff to the bottom.

PS feel free to make use of any JavaScript you find useful - if you do I would appreciate a mention or a link :)

Thanks in advance

I think I see your problem.

<div id=&quot;Layer1&quot; style=&quot;position:relative; width:100%; height:100%; z-index:1&quot;><iframe src=&quot;loading.htm&quot; name=&quot;mainwin&quot; scrolling=&quot;yes&quot; width=&quot;98%&quot; height=&quot;95%&quot;></div>

You need to close off the Iframe tag.

<iframe></iframe>

Also, your page gave me the following error:

page error - check your browser is Java Enabled (IE4+ & NS6)

I am using Mozilla 1.0 and refuse to use IE. I do have java enabled. I'm not sure if you care about people using Mozilla but I thought I would point it out if you do. ====================================
I love people. They taste just like
chicken!
 
:) Respect.

I am currently working on browser compatibility.
The issue lays in the way I wanted the page to look. For that reason, I have used an IFRAME. The content that loads into the frame dynamically changes the title (the bit telling you about checking your java) thus, if the content fails to load into your IFRAME *or* you aren't java compatible you'll get that message.

I have read something about using a netscape-only layer as an alternative to the IFRAME (each browser ignores the tags for the other browser), and using browser specific code to cater for all. However I'm a bit of a newby and to me this means a big revision.

Please believe me, I do care.

:)

Thanks again. I'm off to try that. Mixed Linux/Win2000 Network Administrator
 
Spot on. Thankyou...

PS I will see what I can do about fixing Mozilla. - Any ideas?
