Web Design - Unwanted Double Scroll Bars in website design

Expert: Kolleen Powers - 11/8/2009

Question
Hi Kolleen

I've created a website in Frontpage and am now stuck with a problem due to the iFrame which causes double scroll bars on some, not all of the web pages I've created.

Please would you advise me how I could remedy this.

Should you require the website address, please email me.

Thanks

Looking forward to your reply!

Answer
Hi,
If the content is longer then the iFrame it is in, you will have a scrollbar. You can click on the edge of the iFrame and Select the option "Scrollbars > Never. The default is "If Needed" which is why the scrollbar only shows up on some of the pages. If you change it to "Never" you will need to make sure your iFrame extends long enough to hold the longest page content. I wouldn't recommend building a website like this. I create a page and add the items that I may need to change on all pages as SSI (server side includes). It works the same as iFrames, but you don't have the container problem. An example would be to create a menu and then copy it to it's own page and call the new page menu.html. Go back to the original page and with your cursor in the table cell you want the menu to show up, Click on Insert > Web Component > Included Content and navigate to the menu.html page. This will add the menu to the page. You can do the same with the footer and any other components you want. Once that first page is done, save it to the other page names (about.html, contact.html, etc.). When you change the menu it will change on all pages. I hope this helps!
