I'm making a website using iframe and scrollbars. Site looks fine and scrollbar is visible on IE. But when i test the site on firefox there is no scrollbar, so the visitor can't see if theres more info on the page and etc, which is not really that user friendly, i'm sure i saw lotta websites with scrollbars in firefox so i'm positive there is a solution for this. Anyone have any idea how? Thanks

Do you have scrolling="yes" or scrolling="Auto" or neither?

Firfox is more fussy and rightly so. IE takes things for granted and often shows sites the way that people want to see them and not the way they are programmed.

in iframe tag scrolling is yes.

click here incase you want to see it. still no scrollbars in firefox..

Your problem isn't in your iframe code, it's in the link pages' CSS code. You have "overflow:hidden" in your body tag which is going to hide everything outside of the visible area, so it's not going to scroll. remove that and you should be good. IE's CSS support sucks, so that's why you saw it there.

Also, on your linked pages the CSS Linking tag should be inside the header tag. That may cause problems for other browsers as well.

But from a design point of view, why limit people to such a small viewable area? I have a large screen and I have to view your site through a little box. Why not allow the content to expand the containing box? If they are going to scroll anyway, why not let the people with larger screens not have to scroll as much? Just my 2¢.

thx for your reply. I'll try to change it when i'm home.

About your suggestion about design, i think you are absolutely right. i just made the tables size according to 1024x768 resolution so it shouldnt have a scrollbar on the browser, but your suggestion sounds better. i might try that as well...
