Firefox 8 displays source to nested iframes insead of the html
I have had nested iframes for a few years, Firefox and other browsers display them without problems, but today with Firefox 8, I see the HTML source of the nested iframe. My test case had a Google Graph in it, but since it is only displaying the HTML, I am assuming the content is meaningless. I was about to create a test case, but I found my editor (tinymce) is also failing probably for the same reason.

Looks like I answered my own question. The nested iframe did not have a header. Once I added my standard header, it worked. Firefox must be getting picker about headers in iframes.

The server may not recognize the file extension if it is not .html and sends the file as text/plain.
Does that file have a .html file extension and is it send as text/html by the server?
A good place to ask advice about web development is at the mozillaZine Web Development/Standards Evangelism forum.
The helpers at that forum are more knowledgeable about web development issues.

The iframe is not HTML, but cgi-bin with a Perl (.pl) extension. I noticed the standard header was missing (including the line in one of my previous posts), and after adding it in, it started working. I am in the process of moving my programs to Apache so I don't have to worry about headers, and let it handle all the front end stuff.
Looks like the message where I answered myself is missing -- I added standard header mainly a blank line and a <!DOCTYPE ... > before the HTML.
