Got iFrame setup - but its broken in firefox

Has anyone had problems with their iFrame in firefox?

It works perfect in IE but in firefox it takes up the top 1/4 of the page and you have to scroll from there.

Granted i notice that most of my visits in p202 come from IE just about always..but just in case, does anyone know a fix for iFrame in firefox?

Are you using the exact iframe code listed in the 202 script or do you have anything extra aside from what is listed? For example, doctype.

i grabbed the iFrame code that was posted in a thread here about iFraming. Come to think of it i think it was your post that had the code in it.

So i copied the code and placed it into a blank html document in DW.

It works fine in IE but not in FF.

But when I went to test it recently (in IE), I entered info in form box and hit submit and it just refreshed main page..so maybe im doing something wrong.

Can you go to VIEW SOURCES on your actual page and copy and paste the code here? Remove any vital information such as domain name and redirection number if you want to keep it private. I just need to look at the code setup of the actual page.

Please also note that some networks do not allow iframes and are set up to purposely break the iframe code. One such network is Hydra for example.

Well I guess that explains why I'm having so much trouble with my hydra iframe setup ;-)

How do we know which networks don't allow it? Does it state it in their terms and conditions or do you just have to figure it out?

Maybe we could set up a list in the forum or somewhere of which networks don't allow iframes? Maybe even better...we could set up a list of all of the t202/CPA/AFF/network quirks that we find. That might help a lot of people.

Also...any thoughts as to how to still get a good quality score when we can't Iframe these networks?

Sometimes I just make an image out of the offer landing page and put it on my site. The main problem is that I'm sure it hurts conversions slightly because a person clicks the image on my site and then goes to the real offer landing page and they have to do it again so it looks like something's broken.

There isn't a set rule and I'm not sure if Hydra lists that somewhere but it's something most other affiliates have discovered over time with certain networks that we caught wind of. Although it is probably written somewhere.

As for hurting conversions with a click through from LP to offer page, this isn't true. In some cases, depending on the LP, having one can help increase conversions. Consider it like a pre-sale page to highlight the strong points of the offer itself.

I ran across this on the forum:

"if you add "&frame=keep" before your subid varible it will stay in the iframe."

I tried it and it works.

I'm promoting through NeverBlue so I don't know if iFrame is blocked thru them
