Netscape, frames, scrollbars and Layers

[conspic]

Hi,

I am having a problem with netscape 7. I have an iframe with its source comming from a seperate file that contains a large absolutely positioned div going down the left hand side of the screen. If I set scrolling="no" then nothing at all is displayed in the iframe in netscape 7. IE renders it with no problems. I need to have scrolling set to no as I do not want scroll bars to appear even though the iframe content is larger than the iframe display area.

Has anyone encountered this problem before and has a fix for it?

thanks,

conspic

ps. I'm not providing code samples as it is literally as simply as stated above. 1 iframe containing 1 document containing 1 large absolutely positioned div. I'musing some script to move the div around alter, hence the requirement for no scrolling.

From your post it seems like NS is doing what it should do in this situation.
The only thing to try I can think of right away would be the overflow property of CSS.
Play with this and see if you can change any results.

Khalid,

Sorry, I don't quite follow how displaying nothing at all could be the correct behaviour for netscape. In the iframe there is content that should be displayed. Surely at least a part of it should be displayed without scrolling turned enabled.

Anyway, I have experimented considerably with overflow and the results are completely unchanged. Netscape still displays absolutely nothing within the iframe unless scrolling is allowed.

Any further suggestions for avenues of investigation would be very gratefully received as I am currently stuck on how to resolve this.

Thanks again,
