[thelist] iframe content is lost

[Fernando J. Gomez]

Hi!

I've posted at this URL a page that clearly shows a problem (not so big,
after all) that I found today:

    http://inmabb.criba.edu.ar/~fg/test-display-none.htm

Two iframes, one inside a table inside a div, the other one just inside a
div.

I want to be able to toggle the visibility (in fact, the ".style.display"
property) of the divs, without losing the content of the iframes.

When I play with the buttons above the frames, using IE 5.5, this is what I
see: once the bottom iframe has been made invisible, its content seems to be
lost. The other iframe (the one without the table) behaves in the expected
way.

Obviously I could rewrite the page code, and use only divs instead of this
table, but anyway I can't resist asking the question: is there any
reasonable explanation for this behavior? Just another bug?

Thanks for your feedback, and please reply also to my address,
fgomez at criba.edu.ar.

Fernando
