Iframe help [solved]

Hi!

Wondering if you all could help me get this <iframe> to work right on my comic page...
I have looked through the FAQ, wiki, and fourm search (as well as google) and haven't been able to come up with an answer from those.

My site http://hoboandbowser.comicgenesis.com is here, and I am using a template made with the Generic template generator. On the site I have the layout (so far) in the order I want it to be in, I signed up for a blogger account to use on the site for news updates and I have the blog linked on my indextemplate with an <iframe>.

The problem I am having with it, is the height... I want to make it "taller" on the page, but no matter what I set the height to, when I open indextemplate in IE to check it the height stays the same. Now the really odd thing is, if I just take my <iframe> code out and put it into an html file on its own it will display correctly when I open that file in IE.

So far I have only seen the site with Internet Explorer as its all I have installed currently, so I don't know if its a problem with the browser, the html code, or the template...

Any help is much appreciated!

Are you using a percentage to define your height? For example, height="70%"? If you are, take out the % symbol so that it's looking at pixles, rather than percentage. That will work. I'm not sure of the reason why the percent won't work here, but I think it may have to do with the DIV, and that it's not really defining anything. So, try something like height="200" and you'll see results.
