Iframe disappearing when using designMode in FireFox

[Patropia]

Hi,

I have an iframe that's using designMode in which I'm loading some code.
When including an iframe in that code (putting an iframe in the iframe) the entire frame goes blank. This only happens when using firefox, with IE it just shows the iframe.

Does anyone know how to solve this,

Thank you very much,

Greetz,

Hi,

This is a security measure in firefox to stop cross domain exploits, however you can still achieve the desired result by using a little "hack" so to speak.

Basically, the part of code that writes the content to the iframe (document.open, document.write, document.close) . If you split this off into a seperate function on its own, and delay it for a few seconds, the iframe will stay in the editor without disappearing.

For example:

function writeWYSIWYG()
{
		  document.open(...);
		  document.write(...);
		  document.close(...);
}
setTimeout("writeWYSIWYG", 4000);

Hope that helps!
