Iframe preferences

Adding style to standard look

[dubinsf]

Just wondering the best way to change the standard look of the scroll bar and the generic box that the frame sits in.

Welcome to the forums dubinsf!

If you want to alter the border width (or remove the border) around an

iframe

, you can use the

frameborder

attribute. I tend to always set the frame border to zero:

<iframe src="/frame.html" width="150" height="140" [b]frameborder="0"[/b]>alternative content here</iframe>

For changing the scrollbars, as far as I know that can't be done from within the parent document - it is the document held within the iframe which owns the scrollbars. You can use the IE-only scrollbar CSS controls within the framed document, but obviously they would have no effect in alternative browsers.
