Can't use IFRAME in XHTML 1.0 Strict, what can I use?

TheCaptain · June 28th, 2007, 10:11 AM

I have a few things that require the use of iframe. But that is not allowed in Strict. I have researched it and they say to use object, but I can not get it to show in IE7 when doing so.

Does anyone know what exact code I could get to show a form from another website (WuFoo forms).

Thanks

I am still using Iframes, and it it shows up in IE7 in XP:

Here is my code:

<table border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tr>
<td><p><iframe src="xxxxxx.pdf" width="100%" style="height:40em">
[Your browser does <em>not</em> support <code>iframe</code>,
or has been configured not to display inline frames.
You can access <a href="xxxxxx">the document</a> via a link though.]</iframe></p>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

I am using: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">

Is there a reason you need to use Strict verses transitional?

Yeah I want to start using strict for my websites and move away from trans.

Does that code there validate for strict?

Not sure, but for the application here at work, I have to make sure it works as we get some content from our supplier that they want to keep on their servers.

I posted this link last on the forum somewhere... http://bytesofstandards.com/2007/6/7...bye-bye-iframe

There's your solution!

H,

would there be a reason why this would not show up in IE7?

Here is the code I am using:

Code:

<object classid="clsid:25336920-03F9-11CF-8FD0-00AA00686F13" type="text/html" 
         data="http://louisvillefirefootball.wufoo.com/embed/2007-louisville-fire-season-ticket-form/" style="width:100%;height:1373px;">
    <p>Fallback text</p>
</object>

It works in Firefox, but not IE7. Have not checked IE6.

You can test at the site, http://www.louisvillefirefootball.com then click on tickets.

I don't have IE to test it on, so I can't really help there. Though when I previously tested the method, it worked absolutely fine in IE.

What might help is knowing if it's not showing up at all or if it's displaying "Fallback text"?

TheCaptain · June 28th, 2007, 12:31 PM

it is not even showing the text, I see the text in the source code, but it is not showing.

It shows just fine in Firefox so not sure what is going on...
