Iframes

Iframes are frames that can contain another Web page. They are effectively a portal to that other page, and that other page can be on your site or someone else's. They are most commonly used to hold photo galleries or rapidly changing data from another page (like a Wordpress blog or Twitter).

Iframe Scrollbars

Iframes have their own scrollbars, which can be somewhat distracting. Using their own HTML attribute, scrolling, the scrollbars can be set on Yes, Auto or No.

If you want to force the scrollbar on the X-axis (horizontal direction) off, you either need to size the content on the containing page so that it doesn't go outside the width of the iframe -- and you can control that by placing the content in a div that's sized correctly, or you can use the following CSS to turn off the horizontal scrollbar:

iframe { overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: yes; }
