Straw man.  That is _not_ what I said in that follow-up.  Not even remotely.

Before one suggests a solution D for a problem A, one must first properly 
identify the problem A.  Otherwise D can fall short of solving A and can 
even introduce more problems.

From your answer one can see that you assume that problem A is that there 
are *consecutive* *iframe elements in the source code* *formatted to 100 % 
width* so that they are vertically arranged.  For that case I concur: 
Setting “display: block” on those iframe elements (setting it on the first 
iframe element suffices) apparently solves the problem of *vertical* spacing 
between the “IFrames” (if the margins are 0) *and* has no obvious side 
effects.

But the OP said “adjacent iFrame”; that can be interpreted in other ways, 
too.

I still think the most straightforward interpretation here is the 
*rendering*, _not_ the source code.  Because the OP was referring to 
“adjacent IFrames”, not “consecutive iframe elements”.

So it would be equally possible that the “IFrames” are supposed to appear 
*next to each other* and that this sometimes does not happen.  Setting
“display: block” on any iframe element then has the disadvantage that the 
iframes are arranged vertically, which might not be what is wanted.

There is a general solution that addresses both interpretations:
Set “display: block” *and* “float: left”.  One might even need to set the 
“width” property explicitly.


I can see now that the OP sets “width: 100%” on some of their dynamically 
inserted iframes.  This gives support to, but does not necessitate, your 
interpretation that *all* iframes are to be arranged vertically, and your 
idea that “display: block” would solve the spacing problem without side 
effect.
