Chrome vs Explorer, How do I make certain appearance the same Options

[Jeff M]

I used three iframes using basic html inside a web host's template and I'm getting different results viewing with Google Chrome and IE.

I have embedded a Facebook live feed inside the left margin iframe and only viewing with Chrome can you see it.
How do I make it so that IE can see the whole feed as well.

Here is the webpage and line numbers:

Line 294 contains all three iframe html. The first part relates to Facebook.

FYI - Only lines 286 through 310 are controlled and created by me. The rest was created by a third party programmer.

Thanks!

This is a cutting edge problem. I can't believe nobody wants to tackle this one!

Well, I don't have MSIE or Chrome, so...

But I did notice that you're using dumbnails. Don't use HTML to resize full-sized images as pseudo-thumbnails. Instead, create copies that are the size you need, and use the copies. See http://htmlhelp.com/faq/html/images.html#thumbnail

Seems this has nothing to do with the left iframe (which does show up), but with its framed content. All my browsers except IE run the javascript in the framed page http://www.iplayerhd.com/Videos/8e23b572-6...6f-Facebook.htm while IE only shows the HTML code (the link). Have you tried it with different security settings in IE? Don't know why the script doesn't work in it, I don't even get a script error.

Side-note: the framed page is not valid HTML document (e.g., it's missing the Doctype and TITLE).

Darin, thanks for the tip on the "dumbnails"

Christian J, thanks for trying to duplicate my problem. Yes, its the framed content that is the problem (with IE)

Even if the security settings are the culprit, I won't be able to communicate it to all users. I'll just have to find another way to convey this message.

Re: valid HTML, I learned basic html over a decade ago. I have no idea how to use Doctype. As you can see, the page still presents correctly, except for the iframe problem. What is my disadvantage for not using Doctype and TITLE?

I don't know if the security settings are to blame, it's just a thought.

What is my disadvantage for not using Doctype and TITLE?

A "standards mode" Doctype results in more consistent layouts in various browsers, while search engines give high importance to TITLE content. Also omitting required elements makes use of a validator more difficult.
