Amazon aShop and iFrames in IE7

    Hi there,
    I've recently setup an Amazon aShop on my site www.theroundup.co.uk
    It all works fine in Mozilla and IE6 etc but when I try and view the shop in IE7 the whole thing fails to display.
    I've made changes to the PHP and the CSS but to no avail.
    I've pretty much run out of ideas on this one, anyone got any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Crafu

    Could that be the same situation as here?

    Thanks Dino,
    I'd read that thread but it wasn't the same issue as I had. Turns out I'd simply missed out a <div> comment from the PHP.
    Once that was included, everything seemed to run ok.
    www.theroundup.co.uk shop now works in IE7 and Mozilla
    also managed to insert a shop onto my other site www.local-it.co.uk without any of the same problem.
    Guess it was down to me being careless.
    Thanks again for your interest.
    Craig

    Just thought you should be aware.

    In amazon's own forums, people are reporting that a-shop in an I Frame does not manage to transfere the contents of the shopping cart in IE7, thus most advise against the usage of the iframe option until amazon can sort the problem out ... otherwise you will NOT get any sales from people using IE7

    I've not had any sales as yet but a couple of orders for goods that are yet to be released. I'll let you know what happens.
    Thanks for the advice one again.
