Is there a way to eliminate the
automatic border that appears
around an iframe??

chris leeds · Oct 27, 2003

yes, I've got one here:
http://songexpert.com/index.php?Artists+&+Music
just view source then edit/ find/ IFRAME and you'll see the code. the blue
border isn't the frame it's a table border.
HTH

Steve Easton · Oct 27, 2003

LOL.
I had tried border= everything I could think of.
never thought of frameBorder=.

Thanks Chris.

chris leeds · Oct 27, 2003

besides being in that code, I did those pages with FrontPage so I'm sure
it's there off the right click menu or frame properties dialog box or I'd
have not figured it out ;-)
HTH
btw that's the Danish made single page cms I've been mentioning off and on.
there is another one here:
http://leighton-smith.com
it's from www.cmsimple.dk and it's very simple and very cool (imho).

I still have a white border around the edge.
It just doesn't have the visible border "inset"
edge.
:-(

chris leeds · Oct 27, 2003

there are two specs on that frame description, maybe you don't have the
second one. maybe you have to make the frame border the same color as the
page that's in it? it worked on mine but both pages are primarily white.

This is the way I the iframe is on my site

this is the xhtml

<iframe src="home.htm" name="I1" frameborder="0"

This is the CSS from my sylesheet

iframe
display: block
height:413px
width:630px
border-width:2px
border-color:#800000
border-style: solid

Works fine in opera/mozilla/firebird/etc. But in IE I get white edges on the frameborder at the right and the bottom side of the Iframe. When I remove my doctype (<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">) everything looks fine. Anything I can do to fix this anoying problem. I did everything according to W3C, so I think this might very well be a bug in IE. Why can't IE just render standards compliant code......... :sigh

This is my site by the way: http://www.obnoxious.nl (it is in dutch

Note: The IFrame tag was originally a IE only tag before being adopted by
the W3C.

I know this. But why doesn't IE render the code correctly? Especially when they introduced the Iframe-tag themselves....

Steve Easton · Jan 16, 2004

Forgive me if I'm missing something,
but I don't see an Iframe, I see a frameset
and frames.!!!

Since MS created the IFrame tag, how could IE then be rendering the code
incorrectly? Have you considered that the W3C guidelines and the
implementation in other browsers maybe incorrect?

Personally to get the effect that you want, I would just insert the IFrame
within a table and set cell background color, thereby eliminating the use of
CSS, so that it would appear correctly in all browser supporting the IFrame.

I heard from another user (on the opera forum) that Iframe renders correctly in IE5.5, so maybe this is a bug in IE 6?

Concerning W3C: It would be nice if MS would follow standards for once. It would make webdesign a LOT easier.

Concerning the Iframe: It is there the red square is the border of the Iframe.

Regards,

Mike

Thomas A. Rowe · Jan 16, 2004

There are no standards, the W3C issue recommendations only.

Well, that's a good idea, but it still is a workaround

Can you confirm that this is a rendering bug in IE? If yes, then I will report it te MS

Thanx for the help

Ps. I know the W3C issues recommendations, but these recommendations are implemented in so many browsers, and are seen as standards these days. And you have to agree it would be nice if everyone would follow the same recommendations/standards.

Thomas A. Rowe · Jan 16, 2004

I will agree that it is a issue with IE and CSS in relationship to the
IFrame tag. But the basic IFrame tag display and works correctly in IE6.

Thank you, i will report it to MS.

Stefan B Rusynko · Jan 17, 2004

I think you need to check how IE6 handles doc types and styles
See http://www.netmechanic.com/news/vol5/html_no1.htm

| Thank you, i will report it to MS.

Mike · Jan 17, 2004

I did everything according to the article. I am absolutely sure my code is correct.

I will remove the doctype declaration for now. If anyone has another solution?? They are most welcome. (the table solution didn't work out very well, but htanx for the tip anyway

)

Thomas A. Rowe · Jan 17, 2004

What happen with the table solution?
