Table inside Iframe - very wierd problem

buddyrich2 · Jul 3, 2006

I have an iframe portion of my site with a regular HTML page inside the iframe (also uses .pdfs - they display fine). In the [inner] HTML file I have a regular table that is supposed to spread out to 100% of the [inner]page. For some reason it ALWAYS has a right margin of about 10px that I cannot seem to get rid of. When you view the [inner] HTML page by itself it looks fine.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!

Does the <body> on the inner page have any margin or padding? It will do unless you explicitly remove it with CSS.

In the BODY tag I have <body topmargin="0" leftmargin="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0">

Are you saying I need something besides that?

The "right margin" is probably space saved for the scroll bar when it is needed. Try adding scrolling=no to the iframe tag.

The margins you have in your body are old and non-standard attributes to control the gap of the body. You'd be better off with the css solution. Can you show us the page in question?
