Dual vertical scroll bars used in an IFrame

[pjb153]

I am looking for a solution to a multi column report that forces a horizontal scroll. I have implemented an IFrame for the data rows and used the parent window for the data headings. This works great to keep the data headings in a fixed position. My issue is that to efficiently scroll the data in the IFrame, you need to first horizontally scroll to the right and then use the vertical scroll bar.

Is their some setting I can use to either place both a left and a right scroll bar or just a left scroll bar (without using the direction: rtl on the document body). An alternative would be to build a control to scroll the IFrame from the parent window, but this would need to be smooth and non-glitchy.

Thanks in advance for any helpful input.

wouldnt it be easier, to either make the <iframe> wider or make the src narrower?, if using css, you could do the second alot easier

The amount of data displayed in a reasonable fashion spans aprox 1700 pixels wide (no way around this amount of columns, that's just the report I am dealing with). I want to add scroll bars on both the left and right hand sides of the IFrame for convenience for the users.
