[Sigia-l] DHTML -> iframe

Well, then you could:

1. If it's a controlled environment then tell people they are only
allowed to use IE6 or Mozilla (boo! hiss!)
======
we're supporting ie 5.0/netscape 6.0 and up. I guess you didn't test
these. anyone else know if these browsers support dhtml layers over
iframes? sorry I wasn't specific enough originally.

2. Give IE4 (and perhaps some other browsers that testing shows has the
same
problem) the same fallback you use for browsers without dhtml and/or
iframes.
======
we're requiring our standards for use. ie4 or netcape4 users would have
to upgrade. we're making a huge proactive push to our clients to make
this happen (as well as work support for upgrading into our csr
dialougue)

3. Make sure the iframe is nowhere near the menu, so it won't be an
issue.
======
can't do. this is a design constraint.

4. Copy the truly insane approach I took to this problem 4 years ago
where I loaded stuff into a hidden iframe and then copied from there to
a div using javascript and the innerHTML property of the div. I got this
to work, but I don't think I'd ever use this technique again if I could
avoid it - too clever by half; too susceptible to little bugs and
browser foibles.
======
yeah, no thanks ;) I'd rather just drive into that tree on the way home.
