You must instead use innerHTML to write out the iframe inside another element.

Oh IE, we will never understand you!

Update: Max commented that you can indeed use document.createEelement and still target iframes in IE, you just need to create them in this way document.createElement('<iframe name="iframeName">');. Still über quirky but slightly better than the innerHTML approach. Kudos Max!
