I tried this with the document.write to get rid of the false and it works except it shows that the page is still loading even when it is fully loaded.

Clicking “Yes” results in a “Page Not Found” stock IE page being displayed inside of your iframe. Naturally, this only occurs on a certain percentage of IE6 clients, but it occurs none-the-less.
