iframe in youtube

[zozzen]

Hi, do you know how to make a iframe like youtube?

On the right hand side of the page, there's a scrolling "iframe", but the iframe doesn't load its content from other pages, all contents are actually in the same page. It seems to be a great way to manage content, how can they make it?
[youtube.com...]

Thanks a lot!

I don't think that's an iframe - rather it's a div with scrolling. The contents are managed through Ajax, so there's a lot of scripting to wade through in the source code to be 100% sure. However, a basic search on the source code for the character string "frame" turns up nothing - and a scrolling div has exactly the characterstics you describe - all the content is at one url.

All you need is to create rules for the size of the block element and add "overflow:auto". In fact, you can make other block elements into scrolling areas the same way - I've done it eith <blockquote> to good effect.

Really big thanks! I searched the keywords you gave me and immediately got the script.
