Opera and iframe

Hello:

I've been working on my Church's website, and I've come accross a problem. I'm using iframes as my main display, and I'm trying to make it as cross-browser compatible as possible.

I've got my index page /w a nav bar and header and then for the information display i use and ifram and have the navigation links target the iframe. In FF and IE the iframe goes from top to bottom and from left to right, but in Opera it will go left to right ok, but not the full length of the page.

If you want to see what I'm talking about get Opera and go to:

klutzatlantis.tripod.com

I recently started using Opera instead of FireFox, and I do like it. That's also how I discovered another compatibility issue.

thanks,


klutz

Opera does not support height percentage - it's a common problem. I cannot think of a very good way around it. You could possibly write a JavaScript that would detect browser - if the browser is Opera, then the iFrame height will literally be defined by pixels (ie. height="x").
