    Default Is there any way to get rid of a horizontal scroll bar for an iframe?

    Is it possible to make an iframe window scroll only vertically, and not horizontally (without just making it really, really wide)?


    Any suggestions would are appreciated.

    Thanks

    Not so much ... unless you can get access to the code that is within the IFRAME or have the people that do have access to the code within the iframe make the width a bit less wide.

    Do you have a specific example of what you are attempting to do?

    Thanks Aaron - I understand what you are saying.

    Eric -

    My IDX provider's search results page is too wide for the iframe. The actual relevant content fits easily within the iframe but there is a gray background behind it that is wider. My thought was if I could eliminate the horizontal scroll, the only thing hidden from view would be gray background and it would make the page a lot more user friendly and visually appealing.

    I can resolve it (get rid of the scroll) by making the iframe wider and just showing all the gray background, but was trying to avoid that because it causes some "ease of use" issues relative to scrolling the iframed page vs. the actual page.

    Thanks
