Okay, I am stumped.

Client has a 3rd party provider of certain data that has to be displayed in an
iframe on the client's site. The provider doesn't allow/provide any other
means for using their application, so iframe is the only option (as far as I
know- i am open to suggestions), and something strange keeps happening.

Client site is written in PHP, 3rd party site is in ASP.net. code to show the
3rd party app is:

<iframe src="http://XX.XXX.XXX.XX/ClientName/application.aspx" frameborder="0"
style="width:500px;height:100%"></iframe>

The problem is this:

The first time the client's site loads, everything is fine. Sometimes the
first two or three times.

Then, for some reason, the client file starts dropping the opening iframe tag.
I mean literally, the following: <iframe
src="http://XX.XXX.XXX.XX/ClientName/application.aspx" frameborder="0"
style="width:500px;height:100%"> keeps disappearing from the file.

So, I don't know if this is a problem with my iframe tagging, something to do
with the provider's code, or something with the PHP file which is to display
the iframe.

Any suggetions are greatly appreciated.
