iframe height attribute (%) problem

Szan · 02-26-2004, 12:10 PM

Hi,

If I set my iframe height attribute in px it works well but if set it in percentage (eg. 90%) it doesn't work, simply doesn't show the linked html file.
Did anybody see something similar?

I didn't see any iframes on your page just regular frames, but maybe try removing the column attribute.

Maybe try something like this:

<frameset rows="20%,*" framespacing="0" frameborder="NO" border="0">

or:

<frameset rows="20%,80%" framespacing="0" frameborder="NO" border="0">

Thanks for your answer. Some more detail about my question: You are right, the page is a framed and Dreamweaver templated one. If you see the source code of the bottom half of the page with light blue background (this is the body frame) you can find somewhere the following iframe code:


<iframe name="content" src="bemutatkozas_content.htm" marginwidth="11" align="right" width=480 height="90%" frameborder="2" scrolling="auto"></iframe>
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/web-design-discussion/21871-iframe-height-attribute-problem.html


The height=90% is the problematic attribute because this way it doesn't shows the linked bemutatkozas_content.htm page but if I set the height attribute not in % but eg. pixel (height=90) the iframe works well.
When I tried to apply the same above iframe code on a new blank page there was no problem at all, the % worked well. Strange situation, at least for me.
I'don't know wether the DTD specification has any effect on iframe behaviour?!

Okay I see what you're talking about now, but I don't understand why it only works with the height in pixels either. I'm thinking that it may have something to do with where you've used absolute positioning for some of your divs or something, but I dunno.
