I am using an IFrame to make show some content from some other domain. The problem is that I can use a specified height and width (which I am using) and the content inside the IFrame cannot be accommodated completely in the IFrame. Hence, I need scrollbars.
I used the following html code -
**<iframe style = "overflow-x:scroll; overflow-y:scroll;" src = "http://shopsocial.ly/merchant/fanpage?merchant_name=cafepress"
height = "400" width = "500">**
This works fine in Firefox. But in Chrome I'm not getting any scrollbar in the IFrame. I have searched this problem and have tried many things all of which did not solve my problem. Can someone help me with this?
In your iframe content add inline:
<body style="overflow:auto;">
or in the css file attached to the iframe
html, body {
overflow:auto;
}
and of course as recommended by Tom make sure you use scrolling="yes"
and style="overflow:visible;"
on the iframe:
<iframe scrolling="yes" src="http://example.com" style="overflow:visible;"></iframe>
If it still does not work then try to wrap the iframe like this:
<div style="overflow:visible; height:400px;">
<iframe scrolling="yes" src="http://example.com" style="overflow:visible; height:2000px;"></iframe>
</div>
Instead of using the CSS style you could use the scrolling property of the iframe and set it to yes
(i.e. always display scrollbars):
<iframe scrolling="yes" src="http://domain.com" height="400" width="500"></iframe>
Yap Tom is absolutely right you can use
<iframe style="overflow:visible; width:400px; height:400px;" frameborder="0" scrolling="yes" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" src="yourfile.html"></iframe>
and it should be work as i have tested.
If it still does not work then update Chrome to latest version. :)
