Hi All

I have an iFrame and when i load a certain page i would like it to turn off or on (as necessary) the iFrames scrollbar! Is it possible?

Thanks

set it off:
document.getElementById("IFRAMEID").setAttribute("scrollbars","no")

set it on:
document.getElementById("IFRAMEID").setAttribute("scrollbars","yes")

Hi,

Maybe you are using that code in IE6 in IE6 the setAttribute method does not work, instead you need to access the attribute directly like this:

document.getElementById("IFRAMEID").scrollbars = "yes";

the way vbkris wrote works ok in firefox and other IE versions but setAttribute was removed in the v6.

yes sure..here u go..


Code: 
<iframe ID="mainFrame" src="" width="100%" height="100%" scrolling="yes" frameborder=0 align="right" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0"></iframe>

I know that the above attribute is set to on, but some other source scripts require the scrollbar and other do not!

Thanks

hi,
there seems to be a strange problem here:
Code: 
<html>
<iframe ID="mainFrame" src="" width="100%" height="100%" scrolling="yes" frameborder=0 align="right" 

marginwidth="0" marginheight="0"></iframe>
</html>
<script>
document.getElementById("mainFrame").setAttribute("scrolling","no")
alert(document.getElementById("mainFrame").getAttribute("scrolling"))
</script>

even though it isset to No it doesnt change, i thik its because an iframe is windowed element...

Try this - the scrollbar disappears onn IE6.

for more (slightly coinfusing) info see


Code: 
<html>

<body>

<span onclick="achoo();">NoScrollBar</span>




<iframe ID="mainFrame1" src="x.htm" width="100%" height="40%" scrolling="no" frameborder=0 align="right" 

marginwidth="0" marginheight="0"


style="border: 0;  overflow: hidden; scrollbar-base-color: blue; scrollbar:no;  " >

</iframe>


<script>

function achoo()  {

document.frames("mainFrame1").document.body.style.overflow="hidden";


}


</script>

worked great thanks!

Do you think it will work on IE 5.5?

Thanks again

I tried about 30 things before I found one that worked.

My partly uninformed opinion is that the IE6 Iframe is full of subtle bugs and I wish I had the time to discover/document them all... (so many subtle combinations - so many bugs - so little time)

After service packs, my version of IE5.5 in general had few bugs.

I don't have IE5.5 any more to test ... IFRAME "should" work the same.... but I dont know.
