HTML - Iframe Double Scroll Bar Paradox

I'm in the process of making a page where the menu/navigation is on the left, and to the right of it is the content area. I'm planning on using an iframe like I have in the past, so that the only place that reloads every time you click a menu option is the content area.

The thing is, for the first time this website will have more content than my others, in which case a scroll bar would appear for just the content iframe ... is there any way around having this scroll bar appear? I would rather the height of the iframe just continue to extend as far down as the actual content goes, then stop. This way, the only scrollbar that appears on the webpage is the main scroll bar on the side of the browser.

Is this possible with the iframe? if not, is there a better alternative??

please help!!

EDIT: Edit: Okay, so I found a script that actually works but now I have another tiny problem. This is the code I found that works: http://www.milonic.com/mfa/2005-Apri...djustment.html

But see on the javascript code it has a section that says "//extra height in px to add to iframe in FireFox 1.0+ browsers" ... this code actually does add extra unwanted space at the bottom of the iframe... extends it further than necessary. But I can't find the part where I can adjust/remove this? Could someone help me out with this??

i have spent about 45min reading through alot of Iframe related threads but none of them have helped my problem.

I have a website with iframes, on my index page i am trying to put an iframe into the content box so when you click the links up top it will load them without refreshing the whole page.

So thats fine i put in my iframe code like this

<iframe name="homeframe" width="780" height="250" border="0" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" padding="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="auto"src="homeframe.html">
</iframe>

And on the html document im trying to put into it "homeframe.html" it open up but it scrolls horizontally not vertically and all the writing goes onto 1 line horizontally. The width of my content box is 780px so i made the table in the homeframe.html document 780 so it wouldnt have the bar but it does.

im stumped. thanks in advance.

Can anyone help me out?
I've set up a test site for a project where I have a scrollable table within an iFrame.

Techincally, its an iFrame within an iFrame which gets you to a scrollable table I also added an auto-scroll with anchor-links.

Everything finally works, but I really want to remove the horizontal-scroll bar that shows up, while keeping the vertical-scroll bar.

(Upon testing, I found without the vertical-scroll bar, the anchor-links and auto-scroll don't work correctly.)

here's the link to the test site: http://www.thegrandamerican.com/

here's the line of code I think is the correct place to make corrections:
<iframe id="myiframe" name="myiframe" src="oprah june 09_news.htm" width="900" height="475" scrolling="yes" overflow-y: scroll></iframe>

The hierarchy works as follows:
index.htm > spotlight_news.htm > oprah june 09_news.htm

The reason for all the iframes is to have elements on the higher pages that will stay in place, such as a music player and dynamic menu bar.

Ive been looking EVERYWHERE for a site with a code for a scroll box with a trasparent scroll bar, Ive seen the code where I can edit the size of the box as well as the color of the box itself and I know how to do THAT. how do I make it where the code displays the scroll code as well so I can fully customize it? it seems that its always hidden..

I've got a scanned in document that has been processed by OCR - Omnipage - and saved as html.

The paragraphs often list five or six items.

Most of the paragraphs are single space but some are double spaced. In the original all are single spaced.

I would like them all to be single spaced.

The code seems very complicated with 'spans' and 'divs' and 'box' and 'style' and long lists of parameters repeated frequently. Too frequently I imagine, machine generated stuff, but I'm not an html coder.

The point is I couldn't figure out for the life of me what it was that caused one para to be double spaced and another to be single spaced.

Here's a sample of the code that causes double spacing (hope its okay to put snippets of code in these posts, moderator? )
<p><span
style="font-family: Tahoma,sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 15pt; letter-spacing: 0.3pt;">*
To be informed of, and involved in, Centre Management and practices;</span></p>
<p><span
style="font-family: Tahoma,sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 15pt; letter-spacing: 0.3pt;">*
To have accessibility to information about the Centre through written
policies and programs; and </span></p>
<p><span
style="font-family: Tahoma,sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 15pt; letter-spacing: 0.3pt;">*
To be provided with support and assistance in the parenting role. </span></p>
<p
style="margin: 4.8px 0px 9.6px 9.6px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; line-height: normal;">&nbsp;</p>
</div>
<div class="Box"
style="border: 0pt none rgb(255, 255, 255); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); width: 549.65pt; left: 99.15pt; top: 1107px; height: 192px;">
<p

What I'm planning to do now is copy the whole section and paste to notepad to get rid of all html and then pick it up again and put it back into html.

I've tried NVU, Frontpage and Dreamweaver and I can't find a way in any of them to simply strip out all the crap and - obviously - I can't find a way to strip out this double spacing thing.

Hi there. I am upkeeping a website in wordpess and one of the posts has links which always appear to be double-spaced. I want them to be single-spaced. I have tried changing around the html coding and such but it has not changed the spacing. I don't know much about html so my attempts have been experimentational. The html tags in there are ul, li and a href=. I've tried taking each out to no avail. What should I do? Thank you very much for your help.

How do I double indent? I use <dd> for a single indent, but I need a double indent, so something like this

I currently have this:
Single indent I need this:
Double indent

I'm coding a simple HTML email in BBedit. Everything looks perfect and opens up fine in most email client, Gmail, yahoo, hotmail... all but Outlook 2007. Apparently Outlook doesn't like HTML because it keeps adding an extra space between sentences and extra spaces after all my <p> and <br /> tags.

Does anyone know what code I have to add to fix this issue? I've searched the web for the past two days and can't find an a clear answer.

Thanks!

I've seen this used but I can't find any info on what it's meant to do.

example:

<<style>#saleDiv{display:none;}</style>>

It's a user entered css on a social site.

I have 2 IFrames on a page. I am going to end up with a long list of shows to catch-up on.
Is there a way I can embed an IFrame with the list, and when you click on a show, you it will change the Playing Show

hi,

i've a very simple html page, where i have an iframe. The problem is that i want to add some text below the iframe. however, my text keeps showing up on the right hand side of the iframe. i've looked at the tutorials discussing the tags available for iframe, but surprisingly, none seem to relevant to this.

Code:

<html>
<body>

<table border="0" cellspacing="10">
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="left">
<td valign="top">
<iframe src="mySource.jsp" height="700" width="600" frameborder="0" scrolling="auto"></iframe>
</td>    
</table>

This should be displayed below the iframe but actually gets displayed on the right
</body>
</html>

any help / guidance in this will be much appreciated. thanks in advance!

Code:

<p><center><table width="50%" bgcolor="black" cellpadding="20px"><tr><td><a href="index.html">Home</a></td><td><a href="imglist.html">Img list</a></td></tr><td><a href="about.html">About</a></td></tr></table></center></p>

in ie the center works fine, but in firefox its almost 2 inches to the left of being center, why would that be? ive tried to change the precent and all, but that doesnt do a thing.

Ok, I'm in the process of creating a file explorer using 2 cgi scripts and one html file. The html file creates 2 frames, and calls 1 of the cgi scripts in each frame. The cgi scripts are written in python and html code.
What I want I need to do is be able to click on a directory in the left frame and it opens it up in the right frame, while also opening the directory up in the left frame. Now link is dynamic seing as there are several directories. So I want to make it so that when I click on the directory link, it opens two links, modifying both frames.

So I tried adding this underlined code in my code in the script that is called in the left frame: frame2 is the name of the second frame.

#!/usr/bin/python


print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"

import re,os,sys


def arbre(repertoire):
liste=os.listdir(repertoire)
print "<html>" +str(sys.argv[1])+ "<html>"
for fichier in liste:
if os.path.isdir(repertoire+"/"+fichier):
print "<html>" "<div style='position:relative; top:15; width:500; height:20;'>" "<a href='http://localhost/cgi-bin/liste.cgi?"+str(sys.argv[1])+"/"+str(fichier)+"' onClick='parent.frame2.location.href='http://localhost/cgi-bin/contenu.cgi?"+str(sys.argv[1])+"/"+str(fichier)+"'>" "<img src='http://localhost/apache2-default/repertoire.gif' width='25' height='25' alt='blarr' align=left border=no>" "</img>" "</a>" "<h5>" ,fichier, "</h5>" "</div>" "</html>"



arbre(sys.argv[1])

This does not work, the left frame(frame1) works the same, but the second frame is not modified, help please?

This might you give you a better idea of what I'm talking about:

hello wizards,

i am trying to create a site with image links which open a link in a new window and then the image changes.
the target url of the link needs to be hidden too.

the method will be repeated various times on the page.

please help, i dont have any idea how to get a double function of the onclick command.

any help would be great.

cheers
