I am having a somewhat bizarre problem maybe someone here has seen before and/or could help with.

I have an iFrame that displays when an object is clicked through a little js script - no problem there. However, the iFrame seems to be breaking the confines of a div on the page the iFrame is displaying and ruining it.

http://shadow-tigres...olio/index.html

If you click on 'photos', you'll see the iframe display. The Polaroids are supposed contained in a 600x400 div. If you go to the actual page - http://cgi.shadow-ti...otos/photos.php - it's clearly working and they are being contained.

As soon as they are put in the iframe on the index page, they break out of that div.

If I just put them in an iFrame (on a blank html page) it still works just fine.

What is causing this breakage to happen? I've played with everything and just can't seem to figure it out.

Thanks!

Try correcting the coding first:

HTML errors

CSS errors [Ignore any properly coded CSS 3 rules that are flagged as errors]

There is a LOT of CSS3 in that stylesheet - I think all the errors are it complaining about CSS3 and the older browser fixes.

I fixed a few little HTML things, but they were all small. It still holds the same problem.

Any possible help?

After a LOT of testing, I found the issue but it's a bizarre one.

function photos_clicked(){
var thediv=document.getElementById('display_photos');
if(thediv.style.display == "none"){
thediv.style.display = "";
}else{
thediv.style.display = "none";
}
return false;
}



<div id="display_photos" style="display:none">
<iframe id="photos_iframe" src="http://cgi.shadow-tigress.com/photos/photos.php" scrolling="no"></iframe>
</div>


These are the two bits of code. If I remove the style="display:none" (which makes the JS pointless, obviously) the iFrame works as it should be. If I make it display:block or anything other than none, it works. But as soon as I put back in "none" to make the JS work... the iFrame breaks.

Any idea why? How to fix?

Have you tried:

visibility: hidden;

Using display: none; removes the element from the document flow.

[Hitokage]

I have. It seems the JS won't change visibilty hidden.

[AstraNut]

Might try changing this:

thediv.style.display

to this:

thediv.style.visibility

And "none" to "hidden"

function photos_clicked(){
	var thediv=document.getElementById('display_photos');
	if(thediv.style.visibility == "hidden"){
		thediv.style.visibility = "";
	}else{
		thediv.style.visibility = "hidden";
	}
	return false;
}



<div id="display_photos" style="visibility:hidden">
		<iframe id="photos_iframe" src="http://cgi.shadow-tigress.com/photos/photos.php" scrolling="no"></iframe>
	</div>

Not too sure about the JS as I don't see where a change is made to: thediv.style.visibility = "visible";

I had already tried altering the javascript to try to make the visibility:hidden thing work. When I alter it (HTML and JS both), and click to make the div appear, nothing happens. So... currently not functioning.
