You are inserting the IFRAME into a DIV with style="display:none". Apart from
that this works for me. Note that your HTML is invalid in many ways: INPUT
elements without a FORM, missing quotes around attribute values etc. (but that
does not cause the problem described).

There is a nice HTML validator that might be useful: http://validator.w3.org/

-> marking as WORKSFORME
