If iframe tag is not showing in mozilla firefox at the same time it is working well in IE and Opera, pls remove DOCTYPE tag with xhtml.
that problem can solved by removing doctype.

DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Frameset//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-frameset.dtd"

OK I double and triple-checked. The bug still happens on FF2 as well as 1.5.0.7 and it can happen not only on iframes, but on regular boxes that have scrollbars and bottom border. See my last link for an example. It’s quite nasty since I can’t get rid of it with the position workaround :(

I’m seeing it in FF2 on the last code block only. It’s not even an iframe :(

Try taking out the html/meta tags of the embedded page leaving only the markup, that should sort it

Bramus: you have to scroll down. I remember those lines would stay on the places where the bottom line of the iframe was before scrolling. After scrolling for a while you have a page similar to the screenshot above

Yeah I remember this. I’ve been wondering where it has gone! Thanks for the workaround and for the heads-up to test IFRAME pages in older versions of Firefox.

First Time I’ve seen this “bug” … any online example to check? Cos’ all the iframes I’ve checked don’t have this; running 1.5.0.7 on XPSP2 here.

A live link so we can look at the html and css would be helful, but if this is the rounding error then you have a couple of choices redefine your unit of measurement for the iframe or offending container(s) or update your browser. Which version are you using? which OS?

Can you give online example? I’ve never seen this.
btw uri?…it means url?

Why don’t I see them? I’ve never seen these lines before… is it a Mac thing maybe? I just did a test and set up two pages, called one into the other with an iframe, and I saw no weird lines… I’d love a chance at one of those books but I’ve really never seen those lines - they look nasty!
