scrollTop in an <IFRAME> not working

Axel Schick

Hello everybody!

I encountered a strange behavior when trying to read the scrollTop
propery of the <body> element from inside an iFrame:

<body onmousemove = "window.sta tus = document.body.s crollTop;">

allways reports "0" , even if i scroll down in the iframe.

Is this a known bug?

Thanx, Axel

Whether body.scrollTop says anything about the scroll position depends
on the browser and with IE 6/Win even on the rendering mode so at least
tell us what browser you are trying with and give a URL perhaps.

Yes, that's true,sorry. We use IE6 for our ERP-System. I've set up a
Testpage in which i stripped the code to the bone, so i could
reproduce the behavior and guess what? It works... so i searched a bit
more and found that the page, where i want to implement the feature,
uses a HTC behaviour which alternates the properties of the body tag..
Sorry I could not give you an URL, because the Page runs in our
Intranet, but if i figure anything out, that causes the problem i will
post it...

Cheers, Axel

<DIV> like behavior for <IFRAME>

by: O.J. Tibi | last post by:

hi guys, i was wondering if you could help me with a small problem. i need to have an <iframe> to behave like a <div>, in such a manner that: 1) the <iframe> should have its own display space, indicated by the "display: block;" style. 2) the <iframe> should resize automatically to display its contents. 3) the <iframe> should not have any border, or a small thin border if necessary.

Variable length scrolling <div> or <iframe>?

by: Jim M | last post by:

I have had great success with using <iframe> with overflow-y set to auto. I can get a similar look with the <iframe> tag. BUT... In all cases I need to have fixed heights. Is there a way to put either tag inside an HTML <TD> and have the same kind of scrolling effect. This would allow me to fill the screen and have the size of the scrolling box change on resize. Thanks in advance.

Breaking our of <object> (vs. <iframe>

This worked perfectly on my end, but the website being loaded in the iframe was not functioning properly because it was being loaded within a frame. I then tried using the <object> to load the website within my .aspx page, and the website...
