I've got a small issue with an iframe which wants to scroll horizontally
on me.
A working test example is at http://bradwood.com/test.cfm (At least it
works on IE 6.0)
The content of the iframe is only a few words wide, but when it gets
tall enough to demand a vertical scroll bar, I get
Can anyone tell me why IE tries to scroll both ways ONLY when there is a
doctype present in the framed page?
I'm not sure why the doctype has an effect or then that it does make IE or
standards compliant, so maybe when the IE can parse the document is quirks mode
it has a different behavior.

Thanks for the suggestions, Ian.
There should be an abundance of horizontal space in the iframe, but I was
thinking the same thing you said, so as a test earlier I put the content in a
div with a width of 95% and there was no change in the behavior. :(

Here is the CSS I use on a DHTML popup div that only scrolls vertically in IE.
It is based on DIV's and DL's not IFRAME's so I do not know if it will help or
not. But the if you look at the width of the basic div (div#defList) is 300px
and the width of the dl inside it (div#defList dl) is
It is like IE is making up a div or something which isn't really there.

Well with an Iframe you have an entire html and body container inside the
Iframe control do you not? I do not use iframes very often so I am not fully
cognizant on its peculiarities. But I would guess that IE is

What doctype are you using? In XTHML strict or transitional, IE
behaves differently. The 1/4 scroll is indicative of the horizontal
scrollbar compensating for the presence of the vertical scrollbar.
The scrolling distance is approximately the size of the vertical
scrollbar, right?

Its a really bad idea to mix absolute (pixels) and relative (em's and
percentages) values. Use one or the other, (you can use em's and percentages
together, because 1 em = 100% of the user's base font size). Also if you are
using absolute positioning to bring your div#defList to an offset of

The reason it is bad to mix is when people who can't see your typeface
decide to increase the font size in their browser (and a lot of us do that
when the font size is too small), that a mixture of absolute values and
relative values don't work well to keep your layout relative to the font
size.
I gave you the answer already. (a long with other stuff you didn't ask for, but
will probably make your CSS life a lot easier in the long run).
