    Depends on how you have your iframe positioned. If you are using the
    standard method it should remain in the table cell, if you are using
    "absolute" positioning you will need to use another method, however you will
    need to be a bit more specific on what exactly is the problem in Explorer.

    Default Re: iframe question

    One thing .. You have the wrong tpe of DocType in the page.

    The page is being declared as an xml document but the code doesn't conform
    to xhml standards.

    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

    Best to use a standard DocType instead, unless there is a specific reason
    you need an xml document.

    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
    <html>

    hspace="10" vspace="10"
    are not valid for the iframe tag. They are serving no purpose.

    You have the height set to 100%. Although officially supported using
    percentages is problematic. This is the reason it is not displaying in IE.
    If you take the DocType out completely ( Quirks mode ) it will display in
    percentages ok.

    You'll probably have to guess about the iframe height. There is also a
    tutorial to make the height fit the iframe content, if this is what you
    trying to accomplish..

    Trent: Thank you for taking the time with this problem. You were perfectly
    correct about the doctype. So I take it that the 'doctype' declaration isn't
    necessary, I've seen many sites that do not use them.

    I had already removed the hspace/vspace tags, they came from an iframe tut
    that I found on the web, forget where. I changed the height/width to 99%, works
    much better like that, but I had not got to the final tweak in the version you
    were viewing.

    The XHTML doctype is standard, and plain HTML ones are becoming rapidly
    non-standard. What he should do is keep the XHTML doctype and make his code
    conform to it.

    Fair enough, but considering the problem, how would you handle it to conform to XHTML?

    Okay, so i just put an iframe in my site, and it's centered under a dropdown
