I currently have my site (in html) with a main iframe (say iframe<A>) which includes a dropdown menu which opens it's links in another iframe (say iframe<B>) locates within iframe<A> ...

One of the links in the menu loads a glossary in iframe<B>. This glossary is composed of a title, letters (A-Z), and yet another iframe (say iframe<C>). The purpose of the letters are so that when you click one of them, iframe<C> loads to the words that start with that letter (via anchors)!

Ok, hope that explains everything well. Everything seems to be working well except that when i click on one of the letters it seems as if iframe<C> "overtakes" all the other iframes ... in other words im left seeing just the glossary at the appropriate letter ... and nither iframe<A> or iframe<B> are visible.

What can i do to have it load in iframe<C> and have the format stay intact?

If you were to view the glossary page by itself, it works perfectly!!! It just simply overtakes the other iframes when it is incorporated

I'd appreciate any help!

Ehh.. I don't completely understand, but it sounds like iframe C is inline.. not a block.

Can this be changed with CSS?

Like..

Code:

C#iframe {
     display: block
}

Yo Dawg,

I put an iframe in your iframe so you can suck at design while you suck at design.

Thanks for the replies!

The link is the following:
web.me.com/a.carreno/FAIMEVI.es/es.html

in the menu, navigate to "Utilidades" (the 5th from the left) and then the FIRST drop-down option

Again, Thanks!
