html - HTML5 : Iframe No scrolling?

Question

When it comes to HTML5, scrolling attribute is no longer supported - but I still need to remove the scroll bars - how to do that?

Answer 1

In HTML5 there is no scrolling attribute because "its function is better handled by CSS" see http://www.w3.org/TR/html5-diff/ for other changes. Well and the CSS solution:

CSS solution:

HTML4's scrolling="no" is kind of an alias of the CSS's overflow: hidden, to do so it is important to set size attributes width/height:

iframe.noScrolling{
  width: 250px; /*or any other size*/
  height: 300px; /*or any other size*/
  overflow: hidden;
}

Add this class to your iframe and you're done:

<iframe src="http://www.example.com/" class="noScrolling"></iframe>

! IMPORTANT NOTE ! : overflow: hidden for <iframe> is not fully supported by all modern browsers yet(even chrome doesn't support it yet) so for now (2013) it's still better to use Transitional version and use scrolling="no" and overflow:hidden at the same time :)

UPDATE 2020: the above is still true, oveflow for iframes is still not supported by all majors
