That's interesting... ie iframe bug - "you heard it here first!"

May many google searches land frustrated designers on this page, congrats on finding the solution Roo

Now try it with valid XHTML trans and valid CSS.

Well...that site is totally fudged in IE6. And I get a browser horizontal, scrollbar with both IE and Mozilla

It wasn't extensive testing, it was hair pulling site troubleshooting.

I wish I could recall the site where I found the info and fix, but I can't even remember the search words I used that finally found me a solution.

Try it!

Valid XHTML and CSS on both the iframed page, and the content pages....you'll see!

Check this site of mine

I know it doesn't validate XHTML Transitional (for other reasons, I should update it, oh oh where's some spare time ), but if you look at the 'dance music window', you'll see an iframe with no horizontal scrollbar. And I didn't use the overflow-y property.

Could be that I made somes mistakes, I make them all the time but still: no overflow-y and no horizontal scrollbar.

By the sounds of it Roo has done quite extensive testing of this bug Jack... You can try but you'll only end-up as frustrated as Roo is!

Thanks for sharing Roo, dont you just love ie - it's not a bug, it's a feature!

Roo — Mon, 23 May 2005 10:37:56 +0000

Nope it won't...I promise...it's a bug!

Thanx for sharing

But I believe that defining a proper width should make the scrollbar go away. I'll dig into this tonight, cause I'm at work right now.
