Hi Kipley, and anyone else... :)

Did you ever get this figured out? I have the same exact problem.

Thank you!

I'll go back to what Seb said, an iFrame is an iFrame, it's not a Mac problem.

If you can post back the code that Amazon is giving you (minus any personal
account information of course). I'll try and look at it and see what might be
wrong with the code that would cause problems.

Thank you Snak Eyez!

Here's the code:

<iframe
src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=myamazoncode&o=1&p=8&l=as1&asins=1843102064&fc
1=000000&IS2=1<1=_blank&lc1=0000ff&bc1=000000&bg1=ffffff&f=ifr"
style="width:120px;height:240px;" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0"
marginheight="0" frameborder="0"></iframe>

I'm using Dreamweaver MX 6.1 on my Mac OS 10.3.7

Thank you again!!

There is no other code that goes along with this correct? I no longer have DW
MX installed as I recently upgraded to version 8, and in version 8 there seems
to be no problem whatsoever.

I do have a question though. If you insert an iframe manually, and just paste
the link from the code into the iframe attribute do you end up with the same
problem?

Hi!

Nope, there's nothing else in the code...

I'm afraid you're over my head here though, I don't know how to enter an
iframe manually. Is there a tutorial somewhere that'll tell me how to do that?

Thank you again for your help!!

So I reinstalled DW MX to check out the issue. Ok it looks like you can't just
insert an iframe easily by clicking a button. For some reason I thought the
older versions had it but it appears that they don't. Also for me the iframe
code goes in ok, but for some reason the iframe does not show up in the body of
the page in the design view like it does in DW 8 which is very odd. And just
for the record this is using my Powerbook G4 1.67ghz 1.5GB DDR2 ram.

Just out of curiousity why are you choosing to use the Amazon code in an
iframe? The only reason I ask is that there might be a better way of doing
this that could be worked out within using that code. Otherwise, the only
other way to enter in an iframe without the freeze-up would be to enter the
information into the code view like <iframe src=" and then paste the link in
there, because the rest of the information about the iframe is just sizing and
borders, nothing else.
