More iframe Questions

[Arondelle]

Well, setting the background colors and all as suggested on that
Southern Lights site* does the trick in Explorer.

Now, I have more questions:

1. How do you get a link in the iframe to pop out of the frame and open
in the main window rather than attempting to open it in the iframe? I
don't like people doing this to me, so I'd just as soon avoid doing it
to other people.

2. Where do I find the tags to change the colors in the scroll bars in
the iframe? Can this even be done? Somewhere along the line, I saw and
used the tags/css to change the colors of the scroll bars in the parent
page, but they didn't seem to work for the iframe.

3. There is no third question.

*That Southern Lights site, while juicy with tutorials and very helpful
otherwise, is just loaded with all those things I dislike in a website,
particularly the awful text/background color combos.

<a href="..." target="_top">?
Works with frames, probably with iframes too, though haven't tried it.

Even for the main window, support varies (IE in quirks mode, Opera only if
set so, ...) since it's not a part of the standard. Best forget it.

Ther's no third answer, either.

Don't use frames is the easy way to do this.

Yucky yucky poo poo! If you must, search google for "scroll bar
javascript"

You mean unlike the iframe and colored scroll bars....

Place this in the stylesheet for the page INSIDE the iframe;


body {
margin : 0px;
cursor : default;
background-color : #FBE4EE;
scrollbar-3dlight-color : #E287AA;
scrollbar-arrow-color : white;
scrollbar-base-color : #0099FF;
scrollbar-darkshadow-color : #ECB7CE ;
scrollbar-face-color : #F593B9;
scrollbar-highlight-color : #ECB7CE;
scrollbar-shadow-color : #E287AA;
}

Pinkish scrollbars are all yours! Be warned, scrollbar colouring only
really works in IE, and it does not work in IE when it's in XHTML
"standards" mode (although, the colours still get applied to scrolling
DIVs for some reason).

Ah-HAH! Dawn Breaks Over Marblehead! How obvious could that be?

Thanks.

Ummm.... What's a scrolling DIV? Is it useful? Does brucie hate it?

Ummm.... What's a scrolling DIV? Is it useful?

use css to set a height on a <div> and stuff it with content. normal
behavior is for the content to spew out of the <div> if the content
doesn't fit inside it.

if we use overflow:auto or scroll then instead of the content spewing
out scrollbars are added to the <div> so the content is still accessible
but the <div> remains the same size.

example: http://moreshit.usenetshit.info/overflow-thingy.shit

11.1 Overflow and clipping
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/visufx.html#overflow-clipping

Does brucie hate it?

only if it doesn't contain the letters 'a', 'o' or the number '387'
