iFrame counter showing on Firefox

I am running an iframe with rotating banner ads. It runs perfect in IE but when on Firefox, it ads a ">" above the iFrame content every time the ad cycles. Almost like a counter or something.

iFrame code is nothing complex, just using height and width code to keep the frame where I want it.

Hello.

Does the code work correctly on other browsers besides IE?

Looks like a problem with the JavaScript code that is used in that frame. Code like this that highly depends on manipulating the innerHTML code is almost impossible to maintain: var curImage = document.getElementById("cur_img"); curImage.src = nextImage.src; var DivStr = document.getElementById("div_img").innerHTML; if(DivStr.indexOf('href=')>-1){ 

  var lastindex = DivStr.indexOf("_blank")+7;
  var anchertag = DivStr.substring(0,lastindex);
  DivStr  = DivStr.replace(anchertag,"");
  DivStr = DivStr.substring(0,DivStr.length-4);

} You should use DOM methods like replaceChild or a combination of removeChild and appendChild to achieve what you want. See https://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM/Node.replaceChild
