Remove scroll bar from iframe, Show iframe without a vertical scroll bar Options

[CharlesEF]

Hi All,

Ok, what is the trick to removing the scroll bar from an iframe. HTML5 specs state that CSS should be used but 'overflow: hidden;' has no effect. The only thing that does work is 'scrolling="no"' but HTML5 doesn't support it. The container that holds the iframe is big enough and the scroll bar should not appear but it does.

Does this mean I have to use HTML4 instead of HTML5?


Thanks for any help,

Charles

This works in my browsers:

CODE

iframe {
height: 300px;
width: 500px;
overflow: hidden;
border: 0;
}

<iframe src="http://example.org"></iframe>

If you increase text size, the framed content will of course need more space. Also make sure the scrollbars are from the iframe itself, and not from the parent page (or element) because the iframe is too large.
