Underneath the text on the Yellow Bar that says 'Random Site' there is an iFrame
object. This does not load the specified source file.
Reporter please include at least your mozilla build id when reporting bugs.
for me the site looks in Mozilla 0.9.7 exactly like in IE 5.5. In both the
iframe remains empty.

for me the site looks in Mozilla 0.9.7 exactly like in IE 5.5. In both the
iframe remains empty.

************
I use IE5.5(SP2), Netscape 6 & IE6 (on PC) & IE on MAC to test and for me they 
all show the iFrame contents correctly. Mozilla does not. Sorry I can't add 
more.
Build ID 2001122106
For me in both Mozilla 2002 01 23 04 and IE 5.0 the space remains empty.
REF :Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:0.9.7) Gecko/20011221
With a little playing and some searching on Netscape site I found the following:

Old doctype definition is
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">

I tried 
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 
Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

and the frame contents display in Mozilla. However table sizes are messed up. 
see

So I tried
I tried 
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 
Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">

and, again, the frame contents display in Mozilla. However table sizes are 
messed up. see
http://www.megalithomania.com/index_strict.php

Both of these files work fine in IE5.5 (SP2).
Sorted it at last

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Frameset//EN">

does the trick!!
since this is a vague bug:

I see this is a problem on any cnet page that contains an iframe.  It doesn't
load the iframe source, I also checked this link to IE 5.0  and IE loads the
iframe content no problem..  shouldn't this be handled in any doc mode, not just
frameset?

looks like this is working now.
