I am having trouble getting an iFrame to display the first time that my jQuery mobile backed page loads.
I have an iFrame as follows:
<iframe id="manual" src="pdf/manual.pdf" style="width: 100%; height: 100%;"></iframe>
And for some reason, when the page loads, the iFrame fails to load with it. I can only see the PDF file if I REFRESH the page. Why is that?
Why is the PDF file not showing up in the iFrame in the first place without a page refresh?
Thanks everyone for any insight.
EDIT:
When I try to ope the page with safari, I get the following warning:
Resource interpreted as Document but transferred with MIME type application/pdf.
Could that have something to do with why the PDF doesn't load correctly?

Since it is a ajax call, iframe has to be coded differently. Check this site, has some solutions... Site
slight modification to the code in the website to open a pdf.
