62136 - <iframe> % height doesn't work unless containing block has fixed height or is body.

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 41656

Description

[ekrock's old account (dead)]

[ Copied from N6 user feedback groups. ] I reproduced this using N6 11/8 on
WinNT 4.0. Compare above URL in IE 5.5 SP1 and N6 RTM to see problem.

Do we have an IFRAME support problem, or is his markup somehow IE-specific?

Based on the test provide, the probelm occurs if the iframe is in a table AND
has been assigned a % value for the width and height values.

Yes, the substantial problem is that the height 100% causes the IFRAMEs to 
disappear. Duplicate of bug 41656.

Comment 5

[Eric Pollmann]

Thanks Richard, I agree that this is a duplicate.  The problem is only with
height, and only with iframes, which have no "intrinsic height" to fall back on
if they can't calculate an exact value.  I think Chris Karnaze has a fix for
this bug that might be acceptable now that we have shipped 6.0.
