IFRAME ads and XHTML

[masonbarge]

How do you handle the inclusion of ads in IFRAME format while complying with XHTML (or strict HTML 4.01, for that matter)?

And while I'm on the subject, am I correct that you cannot use "hide from old browser" commenting in XHTML?

To emulate an iFrame while staying compliant, use <php> includes to utilize the convenience of an iFrame, and use the CSS:overflow property to acheive the "frame box" scrolling.

Not sure about your other question.

The situation with strict xhtml is that anything inside comments is exactly that. So its not a case of hide it from old browsers but new ones will see it.

If it's inside comments, then it's only seen when you look at the code.

Cool - you learn something new everyday! Granted I never used hide from older browser stuff, but thats something good to know.
