problem on mac

Post by Leeson »

Hi!

I have a page with a menu that opens pages in an iframe.
The menu is working fine in PC environment, but problems occur on Macs.

IE on macs make the menu hide behind the iframe.
I understand that this is a common problem, but I havent really understood how to fix it. I tried to put the iframe within a div (to use the divhider script), but it does not seem to work. Heard of a way to make a div that mirrors a hidden iframe, maybe this would work?

Also, with Safari, the menu closes immediately (cannot "detect" mouseover where the menu overlaps iframe?), making it impossible to browse the menu. Also this problem I have seen others have, but I havent seen any solution.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

lots of people are having this problem. I've had a similar problem since early versions of 5.

No one seems to know how to fix it.

Solution

In the end I used a buffer ifram to display in a div (using a script from http://www.dyn-web.com, but im sure there are others). It is working nicely. Now I just have to fill the page with nice content.
I've noticed that in some older browsers the hidden iframe shows up as a small box at the bottom of the page, but i dont care about that..

I think this may be the only way to work around the problem?
