iframes issue - help!

james3k · 01-18-2006, 07:17 AM

Hi all,
I'm having someone design me a web site. We have iframes on the site but I only want a scroll bar down the right hand site, not across the bottom.
In Firefox it is doing this, but in IE we are getting a scroll bar across the bottom.

Can someone tell me what the problem is??

In most cases it is because IE and Firefox read pixel rates differently. It matches in Firefox but it still might be too big for IE. Try to shrink down the text box a bit. I would start with a more drastic number like 10px and then if that doesn't work look to the next solution.

Thanks, I will try that out and see if it sheds any light on the situation...

in CSS you can say whether it'd be for IE or Firefox;

Code:

width: 500px !important; //This'd be how it shows in firefox
width: 600px; //and this'd be IE.

stylesheet.css is the file you want to edit. I didn't look at the file in depth but it should be somewhere in there.

Can you tell me where abouts in Stylesheet.css the code goes, and what exactly I need to put in?
Thanks for your help.
