An iframe element works weird in Firefox - any ideas why?

Hey there,

Sorry if this is not the right category, but I couldn't find one that seemed more appropriate. I have a question about the iframe element. My page includes it like this:

<iframe height="0" width="0" src="<some_URL>"></iframe>

within the <head> element. The purpose of this iframe is to peform some work in the background and this is legacy code - nothing that is being currently developed. When I show the page in Mozilla I see a dot in that iframe. When using IE I see nothing, which is expected.

Any ideas why Mozilla would show that dot? I'm using version 19.

Cheers, Dimitar

That is caused by a border that Firefox adds by default (style="border: none;")
