INLINE FRAMES: Vertical Scrolling only.

[tabasco_fiasco]

hello,
A Couple of Queeries:


1.trying to work out how to make an inline frame scroll vertically and
not horizontally. any ideas?


I am using frontpage,

2. also, when i click a hyperlink outside the iframe that is directed to
open in the iframe (while in editing mode, not preview mode) the link
opens in a new window! It is fine when previewed in a browser, but
would be good to be able to open in the frame it will be displayed while
editing the page.


thanks in advance!

You cant. At least, not directly.

Just make sure the content of the page being loaded INSIDE the iframe is
NOT as wide as the frame itself. Stick the content inside a DIV and make
the div about 20px less wide than the iframe. Make sure you set
scrolling to AUTO on the iframe. Browsers will only displayed the
required vertical scrollbar then.

*sighs*. I feel for you.

You're fighting against FP crappy features. Write your pages by hand
instead.

<p>hello world. Click <a href="page.html" target="myiframe">here</a> to
open a page in the frame.</p>
<iframe src="apage.html" id="myiframe" height="200" width="200"
scrolling="auto"></iframe>

Something like that...

sure you set scrolling to AUTO on the iframe. Browsers will only

An even better solution: set the max-width of the div to 100%, or less
if you have margins/padding on your body.

I second that!
