Hello Tim,
My guess is that there is no reason that an iframe disappear beacause of
PHP, nor becaause of the tagging. However, you still can draw the border
of iframe in red to look at what happens (reducing, hideing...).
Then, you may analyse the result of http://XX.XXX.XXX.XX/ClientName/
application.aspx in a seperate window. Take a look at the code
(especially any JavaScript crap resizing the window or something). You
can also try to disable scripts and see what happens (for example with
Firefox and NoScript extension).
Also, you may try to contact the provider, asking them whether this
behaviour is obviously a feature or not. (detailling the browsers you
tried it on).
