IFRAMES automatically scroll unless your page that the IFRAME is showing is smaller than it's size.

Search the forums for transparent IFRAMES ;) It's there!

i have searched the iframes forum and i just need personal help with this cuz none of it applys to me, and i was wondering wat is wrong with this code:

<IFRAME name="inlineframe" src="yoururl.html" width=200 height=200 marginwidth=0 marginheight=0 hspace=0 vspace=0 frameborder=0 scrolling=auto style="FILTER: chroma(color=#ff0000)" allowTransparency></IFRAME>

cuz it doesnt work on horseland.com, and where do i write wat i want to be in the iframe, i also wanted to know if you knew how to make a transparant iframe ontop of a picture

um, perhaps this: allowTransparency shoud be allowTransparency="true"
<iframe blahblahblah>text goes here</iframe>

as far as the pic goes, you could try this:

They sort of explain there. I don't know how well it works, tho

<IFRAME name="inlineframe" allowtransparency="true" background-color="transparent" style="width=200; height=200; marginwidth=0; marginheight=0; hspace=0; vspace=0; frameborder=0; scrolling=auto;" src="yoururl.html" ></IFRAME>

Search next time will you, you'd be doing us all a favor if you did that! ;)

Cherchez, your code is so entirely wrong lol :P

Anyway, this iframe code has some of the unnecessary bits taken out, it looks like it should work to me:
<IFRAME name="inlineframe" src="yoururl.html" width="200" height="200" frameborder="0" scrolling="auto" style="FILTER: chroma(color=#ff0000)" allowTransparency="true"></IFRAME>

You need to make a page to show up in the iframe, and then change the 'src' in the code to reflect your page name. The chroma filter will make anything that is red inside the iframe transparent, so anything you want to be transparent (background, scrollbars) should ahve that colour in it.
