embedded frames

mitu · 13th January 2003, 02:10 PM

it's been a fair few years since i've used netscape; i will get round to downloading it soon (since obviously, i want my site to be as accessible as possible), although i have just a quick question to ask right now:

are embedded frames (the <iframe> tag) now supported by non-IE browsers? I remember they weren't a while ago, but has this changed at all? Thanks

I'm pretty sure that Netscape does NOT support the <iframe> element. I think the equivalent is <layer>. Don't quote me on that though

One of my hostees is using IFRAME and I cant view his site correctly becuase I use Netscape :

I need to install netscape to test some things im working on - can i install it and not affect IE being my default browser ?

Yep, I've installed it as totally standalone, just say NO to all the integration rubbish.

mitu - www.stereotypography.com might be a good place to ask... the bloke who makes it has used iframes and it's a pretty high profile site...

well, i just downloaded Netscape, and to my pleasant surprise, my site www.mitunet.com looks exactly the same in both browsers, <iframe> and all!
