Hello all,

I am using an iFrame to display an external webpage which is on a free server (with ads at the bottom). Is there any way to fix the height of the iFrame so that it will not scroll down to display the advert?

I have tried setting scrollbar to 'no', but the frame still scrolls even though there is no scrollbar.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Well, no matter what you cant tell a iframe not to scroll when the page length is bigger then the frame size... so the answer is sadly know...

I'm sure there is javascript that would keep bouncing a user to the top half only but it'll get messy when you click on different pages with different hieghts.

The way you get around that it to make sure the body has a fixed size, the same size as the iframe. There are a majority of ways to accomplsh this, some using css and others using old deprecated code. This was one of the challnges which I faced when making the noscript iframe menu.


body {
overflow-y:hidden;
}


or non xhtml valid <body scrolling="no">.

Good luck :).
