What is the correct way to use CSS with iFrames?

Hi everyone, I'm facing an issue with my website. I have implemented an iframe to select an element and everything works perfectly in Firefox and Chrome. However, when it comes to Internet Explorer, it seems to be struggling to apply the CSS properly.

If you'd like to see a simplified example of the problem, you can check out my site here. Make sure to view it on both FF and IE by clicking "Click me!" to open the iframe.

Admittedly, the appearance isn't very pleasing right now because I removed a lot from the original design for testing purposes. Specifically, there should be a lense image to the right of input field X2. In Firefox, this image displays correctly and changes when the user types three letters. Unfortunately, in IE, nothing happens and other CSS styles are not being applied as intended.

Any suggestions on how I can get IE to apply the CSS properly?

Answer №1

The solution to the issue was to include a doctype declaration in ie2.html. It appears that Internet Explorer will use its own default if no specific one is provided, resulting in different CSS rendering.
