I know Netscape doesn't support iframe. Even so, I must use iframe or soft-like. My question is "is there a way to use iframe-like on Netscape?".

Thanks.

Closest is just frame I believe.

what is iframe?

Well, it is sort of like a SSI in a way, but the problem is that it isn't server side, it is browser side. You stick an iframe in the middle of the page, or anywhere.

If you went to a UBB forum about a year ago, you saw it when you hit reply to a message. There was a box where you could see the thread you were replying to. Tends to be nasty, as you often had scroll bars (sometimes horizontal and vertical), in the middle of the page.

Another example is that it is sort of like a form's text area. That just gives you an idea of the look of the beast. I'm not sure how else to describe it.

Really, it isn't needed and you can pretty much accomplish the effect with frames and/or SSI/PHP includes for the most part. i dunno, never liked/used them myself due to the netscape issue.

Why don't you make 2 sites? 1 with Iframes for IE and one with Ilayer for Netscape.
You can easily redirect people with a redirector browser based script (http://www.hotscripts.com/Perl/Scripts_and_Programs/Redirection/Browser_Based/).
Is just an Idea :)

Sometimes people use an Iframe to cheat!

what??

for top site lists or allclicks or something

That's right. I had an mp3 site once, but all those mp3 guys are really lame. They all use 1x1 iframes etc. etc.
Now I have two topsites (for guitar and song lyrics websites) and they can detect those cheaters, with cookies and some other neat tricks :D
But what i want is to detect iframes and display nothing, to save bandwidth. Anyone here who knows how to do it?
I tried checking the HTTP_REFERER and those other values but I guess it's not possible to detect it that easy.

you can use a vote gateway

I only use a vote gateway when there is a popup. So it would be cool to detect iframes too. I don't want to annoy innocent people with gateways ;)

perhaps this is stupid... but... why don't you make a mix of iframes and java? like most of the banner tags do?

if you give a look to good banner codes... you will see that most of the time it detects if iframes are supported... if not it switches to java (doubleclick does so)

Good idea.. I'll put that on my 'to do' list, thanks.:agree:
