Hi Lambert:

That is interesting Lambert. I wonder if " http://www.w3schools.com " has
some kind of meta tag setting that fixes IE8?

I'm currently looking at this site in IE8

http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_iframe

And it is displaying the iFrame perfectly well, and no, w3schiools.com is
*not* in the compatibility mode list.

1. It is supposed to have a compatibility mode -- set it to be backwards
compatible.

2. Uninstall IE8.

I must have been out of the loop but I have just installed the latest
version of IE8 on one of my test computers as I am doing a series of browser
tests for a new client's web site.

It appears the IE8 does not support IFRAMES even for local domains... This
is going to require a major rewrite with a lot of coding... as well it
screws up JQuery in various ways. To say the least IE8 looks like a
nightmare.

Any help or suggestions?

Jim
