IFrame left horizontal scrollbar and top horizontal scroll bar

jadeite100 · May 24th, 2007, 04:16 PM

Hi All:
I have the following IFrame. I am using IE 6 SP2. IFrame is only support by IE.

Code:

<IFRAME SRC="http://www.google.ca" HEIGHT="150" WIDTH="200" NAME="FloatingFrame1" SCROLLING="YES">
Sorry, your browser doesn't support inline frames.
</IFRAME>

By default, the vertical scrollbar is on the right side and the horizontal scrollbar is on the bottom side.
Is there an attribute in IFrame that allows me to change the vertical scrollbar to show on the left side and the horizontal scrollbar to be on the top of the IFrame instead of the bottom.
Any help or hint would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You.
Yours,
Frustrated.

No. It can't be done.
The scrollbar is a pre-defined control part of the window that cannot be moved.
The only way to achieve that effect would be via Javascript.

Hi:

If given the following html:

Code:

<body > 
<table>
<tr>
<td vertical-align: top; padding: 3px>
<IFRAME SRC="http://www.google.ca" HEIGHT="150" WIDTH="200">
Sorry, your browser doesn't support inline frames.
</IFRAME>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>

What would the javascript I have to added to make it so that the horizontal scrollbar is at the top of the IFrame and the vertical scrollbar is at the left of the iFrame.

Any hint would be greatly appreciated. Or a direction to a link or url to do this task would also be greatly appreciated.

Thank You.

This seems like the best:

With a little tweaking you can probably move the scrollbar wherever you want. (you'll have to get down and dirty with Javascript)

Hi:

Thanks!!!!
I'll look into the tutorials.
Any other sites with good tutorials on scripting IFrame.
I searched through google but there doesn't seem to be that many or maybe I'll wrong.

Thanks again.

Yeah, I searched around and that was the only decent one I could find...

http://www.dhtmlcentral.com/ used to offer a lot of cool scripts (including scrollbars, etc) but they're offline.

Unless you're ready to spend a lot of hours learning JavaScript, you might find it easier to just pay someone to code it for you.
