for some reason, i can't get my scroll bars to appear in my iframes. i have an iframe in one of the cells of my table, and the scrollbars aren't comming up. or, when i try to put a different page there, i get scrollbars, but the page is much larger than the frame, and I can't see the bottom of the page or the bottom of the scrollbar. its just not working. everything i've tried wont fix it. here's the example:

my site that's giving me problems with scrollbars in my iframes (http://www28.brinkster.com/geldin/new%20site/index.html)

does anyone have any ideas of how to fix it? on my current website (http://www28.brinkster.com/geldin) it works fine. absolutly fine. im completly stumped!

thanks for all your help!

Get rid of the part that says scrollbars="yes".

thanks for the suggestion... but i tried it, and it still has the scrolling problems. no bars even appear. i don't get it. does it have something to do with the tables? becuase it worked just fine in the first site layout.

The page you link to doesn't appear. In fact the iframe doesn't appear. The only thing I see is the broken image you use with an image map. :confused:

You should see what it looks like in NS 6 - no iframe at all.

The table seems to be broken. Some would scold you for using a table to control layout.

I think I've got it! Try to give the iframe an explicit height in pixels. :p

I think 100% is confusing in this case since no height is set on the TD. So the TD's height is the height of its content = the image's heigth + the height of the iframe. That equation doesn't work.

that last post should do it...

100% height attributes in anything (tables, cells, iframes) tend to be problematic. Use an exact pixel height.

If you need to check out some sample iframes see some of mine at:
