Scrolling=no! does not hide the scroll

Question

According the "validator w3c", the scrolling attribute on the iframe element is obsolete. It means that for iFrame there is a Scrolling="no" CSS equivalent.

I have tried: Overflow: hidden; but without success.

Here an example with:

1)Scrolling="no" (it works fine)

but w3c it does complain

2)Scrolling="no" CSS equivalent, (it doesn't work because it shows the scroll)

Answer 1

scroll: 'no'

Is not a valid CSS attribute.

IE is known to have problems with iFrames and the CSS overflow attribute.

Really, the best solution here is to use scrolling="no" inside of your iFrame tag. It's true that it doesn't meet the W3 standards - but no customer is going to run away from your site because it has W3 standards problems. The average person has no idea what a web standard even is, let alone W3.
