strange behaviour in IE7 and setattribute

[Wolfing]

I have a piece of jscript that used to work fine, but seems to be
problematic in IE7:
I have an iframe that I want to turn scrolling off. The section of
code is:
....
iframeElement = document.getElementById ("frameItems");
....
iframeElement.style.width = frameWidth + 'px';
iframeElement.setAttribute('scrolling','off');
//alert('test');
....


The thing is, when I run it the first time, the scrollbars are not
removed. When I run it the second time and on, it does remove the
scrollbars.
If I uncomment the alert, it does remove it (i.e. without the alert it
doesn't, with the alert it does ???)

Anything I'm missing?

setAttribute is known to be buggy in IE. How does it behave when you set
it directly?

iframeElement.scrolling = "off"

Hmm... tried it but looks like it doesn't even run (I put an alert
before and after it and only the first alert came up)
