prevent iframe content reload on hide in firefox

Question

In my webapplication I hide an iframe using jquery hide() function. Surprisingly firefox reload the content of iframe when the iframe is hidden. Is this a known problem? Is there a workaround? I also tried to hide the iframe setting css style display to 'none'. Same result.

The script work as expected in opera.

I'm using firefox 3.5.1

Answer 1

Don't know about that bug, but one possible solution is to set height and width to 0px instead, maybe?

Hi,

I also have the same issue. Anyone found a workaround? A related problem is that firefox keeps on reloading the hidden iframe ??
