Hi i have put in an IFrame in my pages. The problem is i still have my main scrollbar on my page. I would like to set this to no scrolling so then the page would look much better. How can I do this in HTML. And would I put it in the Body Or Style Tags. Thanks

<style type="text/css"> body { overflow: hidden; } </style>
Note that this won't prevent a visitor from scrolling by highlighting overflow text and dragging down, but it should get rid of the scrollbar.

It's bad design, though. If the visitor is using a large text size, he or she won't be able to see some of the content.
This is especially bad with navbars, because then screen resolution also comes into play. I have lost count of the number of times I have had to "drag-scroll" a navbar just so that I could find the link.

I agree. Still, I can see a few situations where it would be appropriate: for example, a web application hosted on an intranet where you know your users' setup. Or on a non-commerce site where you are trying to achieve a special effect.
