How to construct URL that calls javascript and loads .html file

[covoxer]

The iFrame does not load the .htm file. The popup works fine.

Check if you have correctly set the iframe's ID property.

The id was "content" and apparently that was no good. I changed it to "Kontent" and it started working.

Thanks for leading me to it.

Aha. There are some names that can't be used for ID in IE. I guess we had this issue before but I don't remember what name was used. To make sure this doesn't happen, I suggest always using unique names. Like those I use in tweaks, starting with some sort of prefix, for example: "my_frame", "jw_place1", Markku_Object_1", e.t.c.

Good to know that IE doesn't like some id names. From my experience so far Chrome seems to be least strict of all the browsers. In my recent project everything worked fluently with Chrome when IE, Firefox and Safari were choking with some naming mistakes I had made.

Oh no!

There is still a problem with IE6, which won't load source html (scr).
The current id is "My_Kontent" and still nothing loads.

Just happens to be so that my customer has IE6 installed throughout, so I cannot ask them to upgrade.

Are there any tricks to solve this?

Show the entire link that you use.

Do you mean the placeholder's code?

<iframe id="My_Kontent" width=100% height=100% scrolling=no frameborder=0 marginheight=0 marginwidth=0 allowTransparency="true" src="atom_etusivu.htm"></iframe>

[covoxer]

No, I mean the code that you place in the link field. The one that starts with "javascript:"

[Markku]

Ah, that...

javascript:document.getElementById("My_Kontent").src="co_person.htm";my_open("IntTrig");my_open("My_Toolbox2");my_close("My_Toolbox1");

The actual problem is that IE6 does not load the .htm that is referenced in the iFrame code by scr.

Neither does it load the above url (co_person.htm).

So that you don't see any content at all, even the initial "atom_etusivu.htm" in the frame with IE6?
Have you only tried to open that page from the HDD or is it the same on-line?
I have checked simple iframe with IE6, and it seems to work fine here (locally and online).
