Over the weekend I did some maintenance an old site that runs a cgi bulletin board and put the bulletin board into an iframe so it would be displayed within the contents of the page that is running with SSIs.

I have just had an email from a member advising that the page is blank where the board should be. I have now checked it in Firefox, Mozilla, IE6 & IE7 and Opera and find that only the Mozilla engines display the page correctly.

I also did the same iframe thing with a phpbbs forum on this site and another site and it works fine in all browsers. It seems that it is only this stupid ancient cgi bbs that is the problem.

Any ideas how to get it to display in IE as most of the members tend to use whatever default browser comes with their windows machines so I am stuck coding for ie.

you're probably missing a closing tag

Sometimes it's hard to see the wood from the trees but your response Random got me starting at the code again and I found that I had

src/=/cgi-bin/webbbs/webbbs_config.pl>

which should of course be

src="/cgi-bin/webbbs/webbbs_config.pl">

amazing that it worked in Firefox.
