I Frame side menu bar out of dimensions

Thanks for taking a chance to look at this quick post.

I have a side menu bar that is intended to load in an I Frame via a click of a menu selection. It works as intended in Fire Fox but not in IE.

My question is, how do I fix the dimensional display problem?

Here’s the link: http://www.newmanexpressions.com/

Here’s the code:

The section is at the bottom and is called “sideMenuBar”

Hi PowerBit,
The iframe #sideBarMenu is inside the #sideBarMenuContainer.
The #sideBarMenuContainer has a {height: 506px}.
The #sideBarMenu has a {margin-top: 160px}.
The #sideBarMenu must have a height of (506-160=) 346px.

But … the #sideBarMenu has in the html a height=“630”.
That is contradictory, and too much to fit in the container!

Firefox is cutting off the part which doesn’t fit in the container height.
Internet Explorer is showing the “overflow” under the container box to the full height of the iframe.
Internet Explorer always had some megalomania. :wink:
