"The one primary limitation of the <IFRAME> tag is that it is only supported by Internet Explorer?"

It pains me to see ignorant statements like this on a "builder" website. Mr. Bogue might want to do his next story on web browser advances outside of Redmond (after all IE hasn't changed appreciably in what 5 years!).

Perhaps you have not looked at web browsers in sometime (the web does not revolve around Micro$oft, though they might disagree).
The fact is :
Freeware Mozilla (www.mozilla.org/products/mozilla1.x/)
Freeware Firebird (www.mozilla.org/products/firebird/)
Adware Opera (www.opera.com)
ALL support the IFRAME tag, it's not just an IE thing (and hasn't been for some time now). Even good old Freeware Netscape (http://channels.netscape.com/ns/browsers/download.jsp) supported iframe back in 6.x

Disclaimer: the tag is supported but some of its properties are ignored from example ALIGN=Center, easily solved with a center tag above the Iframe.
All of the corporate intranets I've ever been around have centered on a corporate standard browser which has always been IE. So it's all well and good to support multiple browsers and all but the reality is that if it doesn't work in IE it's no use in the corporate world.
