Behind the veil of Colorado's premier Interactive Agency

I just learned a painful lesson…… Ryan Holder

Never, ever, use an iframe in IE 6 with the src set to an empty string: iframe src=”"

This works fine on non-secure pages but, once its https, you will get security popups. Of course the reason I was even using an iframe was to get around the bug in IE 6 where dropdown/selects bleed through any content floating above it (a.k.a. div over shim hack). So my fix for IE 6 caused even more IE 6 issues….. Good grief!

IE 6 bleed through
