I have an iframe, and when its parent div is positioned absolute, then the scrollbar doesnt function (it appears but you cannot scroll)

Anyone else had this trouble?

I have had difficulty with getting Netscape's scroll bars to behave, but not in exactly the same circumstances.

In the situation you describe, one possibility is that the contents of the div may be inheriting the div's properties (perfectly reasonable implementation, in that case). So try to explicitly set the position and scrolling properties of the iframe using css.

Well it works when i explicitly make the iframe's position 'fixed' but that is not how i want it hehe.

Does not work when i declare the iframe to be absolute or relative. But it does work when i remove the 'position' part altogether from the parent div.

A funny circumstance is when the parent div position is set to relative, the top arrow of the scrollbar works but not the bottom!

Damn netscrape!
