    plodding along trying to do some building....
    and i am trying to insert some content that comes in an inline frame.
    however everytime i preview the page it comes up with 'Error on page'

    if i mouse over a link..it shows the URL for a moment...then error on page,
    instead of the URL

    is it something to do with my IE6 settings?...or are inline frames just a regular
    pain to work with?...any ideas welcomed :(

    (xp home
    IE6
    Frontpage2003)

    Inline frames won't show you content if it's coming from a local file (e.g. file://..., or just relative path if you double-clicked on an HTML file). This is done for security reasons.

    (this code wont work as i have adjusted the key settings and url)

    <iframe id="tincAppDoc" src="http://www.ukzzz.com:80/tinc?key=xA&formname=NIreland_Classif" width="600" height="200" style="border:none" frameborder="0"></iframe>
    <script src="http://www.ukzzz.com:80/spons/tinc/common/script/tincapp.js"></script>

    this is the code my host has given me, and it should drop a database right into the page..it works fine on a blank page.....but if i add any other hyperlinks to the page
    for example a link underneath to my home page.....it calls an 'error on page' on mouse over.
    and there was me thinking i could just copy and paste the code into my page :(

    This URL doesn't work for me (can't resolve the domain name).

    here you go...the host supplies the code..which you can view easily in the source.
    its only 5 lines...a simple copy and paste you might think :(

    when you mouse over 'details' on any of the test items

    an 'error on page' warning shows in the status bar.

    if you don't see an error refresh the page and then give it a go :(

    any fix, would be appreciated.
