I want to get rid of the horizontale scroll-bar :(

I have this on main.php
<TD COLSPAN=6 width="506" height="365">
<IFRAME frameborder="0" src="news.php" width="500" height="365" scrolling="yes"></IFRAME>
</TD>

And the news.php is a table that is 470 wide...
which means that the horizontale scroll-bar shouldn't appear, but it does !! :(
I'm using IE6+
Thanks In advance.

I haven't tried this, but it's worth a crack:

Code: 
<iframe frameborder="0" src="news.php" width="500" height="365" scrolling="yes" style="overflow-x:hidden;"></iframe>

I'm not sure how many browsers support it, but I'm pretty sure IE5.5 and IE6 do, anyway.

Hope this helps,
Dan

The news.php probably has padding in the "body" (by browser default). Try adding a style sheet to your news.php with the following:
Code: 
Through CSS (preferred/recommended)
body {
	margin:0px;
}
OR
<body leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0">

Internet Explorer adds about 10px to the top and bottom by default (not sure about NS - probably something similar).

The marginwidth and marginheight settings are for Netscape (they decided to choose different naming conventions).[thumbsup2]

Hmmm. I created a table in an HTML file (called news.php) with a width of 470. Added the "body {margin:0px}" to the HEAD section of the news.php file, and loaded it through your code snippet above. No scrollbars.

What browser/version are you using?

Are you sure you didn't add the CSS codes to the wrong page?
