php and iframes with IE6.0

[pep]

Hi.

I'm trying to use iframe with generated html .

In my example, fileB is what I want to see the iframe, and it's a generated

html table, that include a text form for one of the line. This is why fileB.php

has a $_POST variable.  All the data in this table are depending of the SESSION

variable $_SESSION['dateForUpdate'].

Everything works according to my expectation with Firefox 5.0 and IE 7.0, but for

other browsers (IE 6.0) I see a white empty rectangle instead of a table.

Is there something I could do about it, or do I want too much for the old browser ?

Would you suggest an alternative ?

Thanks.

 

 

// fileA.php

 

<?

...

if (isset ($_POST['newdate']) ){

  $_SESSION['dateForUpdate'] = $myDate; }

else { $_SESSION['dateForUpdate'] = date("Y-m-d"); }

 

...

 

 

echo "<iframe src=\"fileB.php\" width=\"800\" height=\"300\" scrolling=\"auto\" frameborder=\"1\">";

echo "</iframe>";

?>

 

 

 

 

 

//fileB.php

 

 

<?

//-----------------------------

 

connectDataBase();

 

// -- hundred of lines here --

 

$dateForUpdate = $_SESSION['dateForUpdate'];

$qtySystems = $qtySystems();

 

if (isset ($_POST['butadd'])) {

for ($i=0; $i < $qtySystems; $i++) {

$arraySystemdetail[$i] = $_POST["col$i"] ;

}

 

updSystemDetail($arraySystemdetail,$dateForUpdate,$qtySystems);

}

 

$tablewidth = (($qtySystems + 2 ) * 100) + 80;

 

echo "<table width=\"$tablewidth\" border=\"1\">","\n";

$bigTable = getBigTable( $dateForUpdate);

printArray( $qtySystems, $bigTable);

echo "</table>";

 

?>

Is there a reason why this is being done in an IFRAME?

My table will have many columns, depending of the user.

Also, my main page (fileA) is a  3 column display. We don't want to use 1 wide column, (except if we don't have the choice).

Thanks.

I don't think this is really a php issue rather a css or html thing

 

just check out the source in your browser what goes wrong that will give you an answer to what is wrong since php is serverside there is no difference in the output in firfox or ie

Try changing these

 

  echo "<iframe src='fileB.php' width='800' height='300' scrolling='auto' frameborder='1'>";                       

 

 

  echo "<table width='$tablewidth' border='1'><br>";
