Hi Nihad1,
Actually you cannot open directory in such a way (on your own iframe). Dropbox won't let you. Most probably you're using Dropbox Embedder.
Your actual question refers to an ongoing bug. It's good that more people (including you now) signal for this bug and let's hope it will be fixed soon. This bug resides for a while already and Dropbox team seems not too much engaged with though. Let's hope this will change.
Good luck to all of us.
