Getting an Excel Spreadsheet to diplay in an iframe correctly in IE6

[Steve Chong]

I am having difficulties getting an Excel file to display
correctly in an iframe viewed through IE6. Yet when I
changed the page to be displayed from an Excelfile to
a .htm file or a .txt fiel there is no problem.
I am unable to find anything in the knowledge base. Would
appreciate help from anyone who has encountered and solved
this.

Here is my code
<IFRAME frameBorder=0 iframe
name="iframe" height=700 marginHeight=0 marginWidth=0
scrolling=auto
src="test.xls" width=100%></IFRAME>

Thanks and regards
Steve

This is not a FP issue.

Check your IE browser security setting and the advanced setting.

Tried that, no change. Excel srill appearing in new window
instead of inside the frame

Steve,

I have no problem loading a Excel spreadsheet directly into a IFRAME using
the following:

<!--webbot bot="HTMLMarkup" startspan -->

<IFRAME src="internet_product_list.xls" width="600" height="300" hspace="0"
vspace="0" frameborder="0" scrolling="auto"></IFRAME>

<!--webbot bot="HTMLMarkup" endspan -->

Note: The webbot tags are required if using FP98 or FP2000, since there is
no built in support for the IFrame tag. I prefer to use FP2000 over FP2002.
