Could anyone explain to an html novice why the first iframe in the following sequence doesn't work (and if I only have one iframe, it doesn't work).

Thanks in advance. Ian

<p> 1st Frame

This works on my computer (Win XP) in both Firefox (20.0.1) and IE
(8.0). You have some mistakes in your code, which might cause problems
for some browsers. The "<p>" tag needs a closing tag of "</p>." You have
a lot of opening "<p>" tags with no corresponding closing "</p>" tags. I
suspect that might be your issue. I am guessing different browser might
handle the error differently.

Art,

Thanks, I’m just going to beat my head against a wall for a while. For an hour I’ve tried every permutation, and always got a file not found message for the first iframe:

I post the message, vow to keep well clear of HTML, see your response, then without changing anything it works…

Try quoting your attributes.
