if u set the width no larger that the view screen, then it would be no scrollbar i think.
Im not very sure about this. I've use the width attribute to do this before. Sure there are some other ways

why would you want to do that? if the visitor's browser is not at full size, your frame will be very compressed without the horizontal scroll bar

if you set scrolling to no the iframe will have no scrollbars but I don't know how to disable just the horizontal scrollbar.

It would be like the frames trap17 uses.

The option in Microsoft FrontPage edits both scrollbars not one individually. Even if you try write the HTML through a programe like WordPad i don't think you can set only one scrollbar to change. I don't see why you would want to though

Well, it's because I have a shoutbox, and sometimes a horizontal scrollbar appears, well it's not that annoying, but it could be better without. It's a bug that only happen sometimes...

Use This Code for That ::
<iframe id="datamain" src="Html address " width="Size" height="Size" marginwidth=0 marginheight=0 hspace=0 vspace=0 frameborder=1 scrolling=no></iframe>

if marginwidth and marginheight and frameborder = 0 iframe load with out any bordar and any 3d style
if scrolling = no dont show scroll and if = yes it show scrolls
in front page u can first put your iframe and then in html code find iframe tag and edit scrolling to no

Yes, but I only want to disable the horizontal scrollbar, not the vertical too!

Hello, to answer your question:

I'll attempt to explain this by using an example. Let's say your iframe source is called shoutbox.html and your division ID for the style of the shoutbox is under #div.

This is what you put in your style tags:

CODE

#div {
overflow-x: hidden;
}

Of course you have other things in between, I'm sure there are colour and width and height and other specifications. But to hide the horizontal scrollbar that is what you do.

Then how to call it up would be to insert the id into the iframe tag.

Like so:

CODE

Alternate method (easier method):

If you are not sure about using CSS, then directly edit the HTML by inserting this into the divison tag.

CODE

Hope that was helpful

If you still have problems, you are welcome to PM me or IM me or bug other more knowledgeable people on the forums heheh

(but I can't guarantee that they'll welcome it
