The iframe is coming from Amazon's iframe ad-server.

I think this is WONTFIX.

I agree with Smokey. If they're serving up iframes from their ad server, there isn't much that we can do about it without allowing a whole lot of ads through.

Attachment: Iframes won't render in Camino, but will render in Safari or Firefox

Please revisit the Won't Fix decision.  I am including a page "iframe test.html" that illustrates the problem.  It renders correctly in both Safari and in Firefox, but not in Camino. (At first I thought it might be a nested table problem, hence the Level 1-4 headers).

Since it renders correctly in both Firefox and Safari, I question that it is an Amazon problem, unless there is something I'm missing here

I discovered this when attempting to access Amazon through a non-profit website as a way of making a contribution, this this bug is having an impact on the finances of that non-profit org.

They render just fine if you turn off ad blocking.

Ad blocking has a potential impact on the finances of every website that you visit; if that bothers you, don't enable ad blocking.
