I-FRAME TROUBLE: Only background color showing in IE, but nothing else?

**LisaMarie** · 03-11-2012, 09:37 AM

What I'm looking to do works flawlessly in FF. Here is the link:

[Broken Link Removed]

I've attached a copy of the main stylesheet as well, although the css that I believe the trouble is coming from is still within I-frame page for now...

Been looking for solutions online -- but haven't found solutions thus far.

ADDITIONAL NOTES:

1. I've used this exact method before on MY MAIN WEBSITE and it still works remotely (Shot Breakdown). Although I tested that locally tonight while troubleshooting this issue and now that's appearing locally as just a dark blue background color. emmm...

2. Not Internet Secuirty Setting (Checked already)

3. Doctype is transitional...

4. I tried merging both styles on to the one external sheet with the same outcome.

5. Z-index confusion? I thought I double checked but...

I'm completely at a loss here. Any help would be great counsel at this point. Tearing m'hair out and cranky. Thanks a bunch folks.

Kind Regards,
LisaMarie

Hi there LisaMarie,

your page looks and works the same in both IE8 and IE9, as it does in Firefox 10.0.2.

I removed "THE LINK" because it was broken, this may have been/be a temporary problem, if so - my apologies.

In any case, please post a valid link to the problem page. We can't fix it if we can't see it.

Thanks so much, coothead. That's my main site-- where the iframe is actually working as I need it to! The problem is on the this other site I'm designing.

Hi there LisaMarie,

your page, at the quoted site, looks and works the same in both IE8 and IE9, as it does in Firefox 10.0.2.

If you're only talking about how it looks as the page is loading, remove the highlighted line (from WALKSAFELY_CHASINGDREAMS/MEN_PRODUCT_1.html):

Code:

	margin: 0; /* it's good practice to zero the margin and padding of the body element to account for differing browser defaults */
	padding: 0;
	z-index:1;
	text-align: center; /* this centers the container in IE 5* browsers. The text is then set to the left aligned default in the #container selector */

Hi John,

Thank you for your response. The bright green BG color is what I used to show you all where the iframe would be in IE. I actually need the iframe itself in there (as it appears to display and work correctly in FireFox)

When I removed the BG:

*When I test the iframe itself locally: BLACK WHITE PAGE/BODY with no image. In my working file all divs and hrefs are 'showing'.

*When I test the full page w/ the iframe: The iframe shows the page with the default to the BG image of the ProductBackground div (as I need) but then the rollovers and hrefs are not working.

I uploaded the new content w/o the BG color-- for review.
(along with the adjusted css file)

Here is the troubling link again!

Thank you in advance!

Rollovers work here in IE 8 and 9 and hrefs appear to 'work' as well, they don't seem to do anything in Firefox or IE, but they show up as what appears to be correctly in IE's status bar:

What version of IE are you using? What OS?

I gave LisaMarie that information yesterday at 11:52 am.
It applied to the link that John said was broken.
I repaired it and tested it successfully, as stated.
