iframe seamless attribute looks to not be very cross browser compatible?

In "Fixing Info Windows and Google Maps" the solution that's shown uses an iframe with the attribute of seamless="seamless". I did some research on w3schools.com and it says that only Chrome and Safari support that attribute. Is this true, and if so is there a cross browser solution?

There isn't such a solution, HTML5 please currently warns against using the iframe[seamless] property.

Here's a great article on iframe[seamless] property

At the time of it's writing however there's virtually no support:

Support: No current browser (IE9, Chrome 18, Safari 5.1, FireFox 12, Opera 11.6), but functional in Chrome 21

Here's a link to the MDN article on iframe[seamless] property
