object & scroll bar

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Nov 22.2002

when including an html page as an object (even when the size is larger than the content) in IE 6 you get a greyed out vertical scrollbar (not the horizontal though). In NS 7 the display is correct – no bars.

There are no valid scroll attributes for the object tag. This is likely just an IE problem that I will have to live with.

But . . . anyone know any tricks to get rid of it?

@Zach_ElfersNov 22.2002 — To get rid of the scrollbar for the HTML page, in the body tag put scroll="no". To get rid of scrollbars for a particular element, in a CSS script, type overflow:hidden;. Hope that helps!?

@Beach_BumauthorNov 22.2002 — that does not work for an object. read the prior post. but a good thought!

@Rick_BullNov 22.2002 — Personally I haven't had that problem (you haven't got a link to your pages have you?), but I can only elaborate on the previous posts and say try overflow:auto or (probably not what you want) overflow:scroll

@Robert_WellockNov 22.2002 — I believe the real problem is actually Micro$oft, yes the autoflow would work for a <textbox>.

However we are considering the <object> element I have seen this question before when some people were testing the XHTML 2.0 proposals and trying to insert an image via <object> obviously Mozilla gets things right.

@StefanNov 23.2002 — There is a general hack to get IE to remove it's crappy vertical scrollbar when it's not needed.

However it's not valid CSS and will NOT pass validation.

/* IE scrollbar fix, Invalid CSS */

body,html { overflow-y: auto }

I assume the same can be applied to get rid of scrollbars for <object>. Not tested though.

@cassyOct 17.2006 — for the object tag there is a solution:

for example:

page.html : this page calls the object.
[code=html]<!DOCTYPE html public "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Test objet</title>
</head>
<body>
<OBJECT type="text/html" data="object.php" width="160px" height="600px">
</OBJECT>
</body>
</html>[/code]

and put this css in object.php
[CODE]HTML {
margin: 0;
overflow:auto;
border: none;
}

body {
margin: 0;
}[/CODE]

Success!
