Re: [PHP] Re: posting variables to parent frame

Very clever use of iFrame. So clever it doesn't show in your html source code.

Looks more like you are using DIV tags, with simple POST values, just like I'd have done it.

Incidentally, "<br/>" is an error for html.

Provide an example of an iFrame that will work on all modern browsers and that can't be done with DIVs or OBJECTS

Okay, try this:

I use iframe to deliver the sound without a refresh via ajax.

Show me how you can use a DIV or OBJECT to do the same -- I don't think so.

And from the Web Design Group:

"The OBJECT element is used to include objects such as images, audio, videos, Java applets, and Flash animations. OBJECT is intended to replace the more specific IMG and APPLET elements, as well as the proprietary EMBED and BGSOUND elements, though a lack of browser support and severe bugs in supporting browsers make the other elements a better choice in many cases."

Also, iframe is not obsolete and IE 7 does handle them.
