i need to know, cos i really wanna use iframes and i need for it to be mac compatible...are there other alternatives?

Well it's not about being Mac-compatible, it's about being browser compatible. As far as I know, they were invented for Internet Explorer but now Netscape recognizes them too, even though they're not strictly 'legal' html. Make a quick iframe page and ask some Mac person to look at it for you

Oh yeah, look into the DIV tag for an alternative - that's a Netscape thing, but they work in IE now
