Problem with iframe alternative text

Problem with iframe alternative text

Hi,
HI,

I want to use an iframe in the content which is displayed before a student begins a quiz. I added the following using the HTML editor in HTML source mode:

<iframe width="600" height="400" frameborder="0" src="/gk/assessed_instructions.htm" id="foo" name="foo">
Your browser does not support iframes.
<a href="/gk/assessed_instructions.htm">
Click here
</a>
to go directly to included content.
</iframe>

The stuff between the <iframe> tags is intended as an escape for browsers which do not support iframes. When I save this and re-open in the HTML editor I find that the HTML markup between the <iframe> tags has been replaced by HTML entities. Is there any work-around for this?

Well, don't use that link...wink

There are not many old netscape browsers left so you might just forget it - or add a small link elsewhere outside iframe tags. This is one of many bugs in current htmlarea editor.

<iframe width="600" height="400" frameborder="0" src="/gk/assessed_instructions.htm" id="foo" name="foo">
</iframe>

should work fine for 99.99% of browsers
