Has anyone discovered a limit to the the number of I frames you can have on
a html page?

To Digress:
========
Running Windows XP SP1 with IE6 (all updates downloaded for both)
I have a html page which has 3 IFrames. 2 IFrames are dynamically created
tables built from the same server page but with different query string
parameters to create 2 distinct pages. The 3rd IFrame displays a straight
html page (different server page from the first 2).

The Problem:
=========
When I attempt to load the main page, it appears to render part of the page
and then hang. The part of the page rendered includes no downloaded
resources (images etc) just text and background colour.

A Quirk
======
The page can be forced to finish loading by right mouse clicking the
relevent IE task bar button. This displays the windows context menu. By then
left clicking anywhere (I usually click back on the browser), the page will
complete loading and rendering.

Additional Information:
===============
The page will fully load if i display just 1 IFrame (regardless of content)
or 2 IFrames if they contain the content of the original frame 3.

Thoughts:
======
Currently I am working along the lines that this could be a threading issue
on the server but this will take a while to prove/disprove.

The Question:
=========
Has anyone seen this problem before and know how to fix it.

Thanks in advance

Mark
