why does this work in FF but not in IE?

[beeswax]

this an experiment, but I'm using an iframe to place calendarix into a test site, here - http://www.hotsoup.co.uk/Menu_test (click on Calendar in the menu). with FF it works first time, but in IE the calendar is off the page until you mouse over any link on the page. this has bushwacked me for a few days with a few re installations of CMSMS, fresh database setups, but I can't find a solution. can someone shed a ray of light on this? thanks.

Not sure how much good it will do but this will be 2 screen shots of the out lines from IE, there is a Dev. toolbar for it but no edit CSS function( man would that make life so much easier) first is before hover second is after.

Maybe the table CSS from the main part of the frame is in action till you hover then the frames table CSS kicks in?

I thought maybe if I put the iframe call in a one cell table set at 99% (100% doesn't work for some reason, the table drops below the news module) it would work. for some reason the page is now smaller than it should be, but you can see it all, and when you mouse over a link it stretches to fit the page. FF handles it without any problem.
well, perhaps not an elegant solution, but it seems to work. If I post the guidelines (if that's ok with you guys) of how I did it, some bright spark may hit on the answer.

I noticed when I look at your source the you don't have the Iframe JS call in the header of the page, I've got a embeded page and it calls the Iframe into the header by putting this tag, {embed header=true}, in the Metadata: box in the options tab in Content » Pages » Edit Page: Embeded.

How I set this page up...  http://www.multiintech.com/index.php?page=embeded

In the template....

     
        {title}
        {content}
        {embed url=http://www.multiintech.com/old/index.html}
     

In the page edit....

Content:      because you can't leave it blank

in the options tab Metadata: {embed header=true}

BTW if you grab the top bar of the embeded page like a window on your desktop you can drag it around...

thanks for the help Mark. I haven't quite got the hang of it yet. I downloaded the IFrame JS call script (after copying and pasting the script from your header first, then removing it from my head section in case yours had been modified) and put it in the head of the template I am using, CSS menu + 2 columns, but when I previewed the site all I saw was several lines of script saying that various smarty tags couldn't be called (or something). When I removed the script the calendar appears and doesn't resize, but I loose the news module down the left and I get ">" icons or arrows in the menu.
I've visited the link you give and followed, to the best of my abilty, exactly what you've done. so far without getting the right results.

The embed tag is built into CMSMS the script comes from within CMSMS when you put the tag in the metadata: box on the options tab of the page.

in the options tab Metadata: {embed header=true}  this calls the js from CMSMS, no need to copy it from mine, this is in the Content » Pages » Edit Page:

Go here and see how it's done  http://multiintech.com/CMSMSDemo/admin/login.php

At the bottom of Content » Pages is Embeded click it and see...

ps. you can put your calendar in this page, click the source button, by putting the full path to it in place of multiintech.com/old/index.html

Although this is a personal project, I have to thank you for all the work you've put in Mark, and for allowing me to see "backstage" how the thing works, it's really helped me out. Once again, top man!
