Hi,
In order to get an HTML "iframe" working in a custom skin I'm working on, I've disabled my MediaWiki's behavior of breaking out of frames using an equivalent act of adding "$wgBreakFrames=false;" in the LocalSettings file by simply modifying the /skins/common/wikibits.js file to comment out the code which checks for the parent frame (lines 65 & 66 in ver. 1.6.10) <- thanks Rob :-)
This works perfectly for long URLs which use the php post data to carry the article title
such as: .../wiki/index.php?title=My_Title
but does NOT work with short URLs
such as: ../wiki/index.php/My_Title
does anyone the mechanics of the "Short URL" programming well enough to help me come up with a solution that does not involve upgrading. I am stuck with 1.6.10
please advise, - rich (revansx)

I have modified my Monobook.php skin to include an "iframe" at the top (just above the article title). However, when I look at the page in my wiki, the wiki automatically goes to an article which is named what my iframe src= is pointed to. The iframe html code works fine in a page by itself. Can anyone help me understand why this is happening? ...and help me with a work around?
The IFRAME source is a page on the wiki?
If that's the case (it wasn't clear above), then this appears to be MediaWiki's behaviour of breaking out of frames. You can switch this off in newer versions of the software using $wgBreakFrames = false; in LocalSettings.php.
