IFRAME with externap PHP Source Not Working in IE & Chrome

[davelev]

I made an IFRAME with external PHP source for a section in a site:

I have a DIV that in it has an IFRAME... I want to use this to display some content on all pages. Sort-of-a sitewide linkbox...

<iframe src="external.php" width="800" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0" vspace="0" hspace="0">
</iframe>

And the expernal.php file has several images, links, text in it and its own external .CSS file.

What happens:
IE and Chrome start downloading the external.php file whenever the page loads. Which is extremely annoying
And they do download the file, but after that, it still doesn't load: so the IFRAME is invisible...

Firefox works perfectly fine...

Normally there should be no downloading, the file should load, as any external file should!

How can I solve this?

Tired changing the .PHP file to .JS, but the IE and Chrome browsers still download it!

Usually, the browser will try to download the file if it doesn't recognize the file type as render-able. Are you sure php is enabled?
