IFRAME's to the rescue...ishLooking for a way to tell the browser how big the results of a client-side JavaScript will be? You run it inside an <IFRAME>, which does have width/height attributes! So the code now looks like this:<iframe
src="http://ads.aspalliance.com/iframe.asp?m=6&t=1&target=_parent"
width="468" height="60" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0"
hspace="0" vspace="0" frameborder="0" scrolling="no">
<script
language="javascript"
src="http://ads.aspalliance.com/displayad.asp?m=6&t=1&target=_parent">
</script>
</iframe> |
The new iframe.asp mentioned above simply outputs the <script> as before. It's repeated between the IFRAME tags for browsers that don't support them. Finally, the problem with IE 5.5Sorry for the long route to get here, but as soon as I changed my site to using IFRAME's I started getting emails from my HTTP 404 handler (it sends me an email whenever a user hits a "dead link" on my site).It gets stranger! The files being requested were the <title> of the page containing the IFRAME, with "_files/iframe.htm" appended. So, this page, which has a title of "IFRAME's...and IE 5.5", would cause my server to get a request for a file called: http://CoverYourASP.com/IFRAME%27s%2E%2E%2Eand+IE+5%2E5_files/iframe.htm or, occasionally, this: http://CoverYourASP.com/IFRAME%27s%2E%2E%2Eand+IE+5%2E5_archivos/iframe.htm Isn't that bizarre? Study that for a moment and see if you can think of any reason for that - no-one I've asked can! Remember too, that when this happens the user-agent is always IE 5.5. Ignoring the problem is easy. All I did was change my 404 handler (Handle404.asp) so that it didn't send me the email if the filename contained "iframe.htm" by adding the line below. // don't send mail for IE's iframe bug
if ( -1 != sMissingFile.indexOf ( "iframe.htm" ) )
return;
