Well I thought IFRAMEs were supported at least in current versions of
mozilla, but I am not entirely sure of that.

IFRAME was a microsoft extension to HTML, and I don't know if it is now
officially part of HTML or not.

Are you sure it is that IFRAMEs are not supported, and not just a
problem with the JVM or something similar?  Or perhaps trying to use
IFRAMEs in a way only IE allows them to be used?
