HTML5: Iframe No Scrolling

Remove scrollbar from iframe

in your css:

iframe{
    overflow:hidden;
}

HTML5 : Iframe No scrolling?

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

Hide scrollbar in iframe, while still scrolling

scrolling="no"

and

display:none

Will stop the iFrame from scrolling. The only other solution is to "hide" the scrollbar via overlapping.

<div style="width: 400px; overflow: hidden">
  <iframe src="https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page" width="407"height="480">
</div>

Note the 7 pixel difference between the parent div and the iframe, this effectively cuts off a portion of the iframe so that the scrollbar is hidden but you are still able to scroll.

HTML iframe - disable scroll

Unfortunately I do not believe it's possible in fully-conforming HTML5 with just HTML and CSS properties. Fortunately however, most browsers do still support the scrolling property (which was removed from the HTML5 specification).

overflow isn't a solution for HTML5 as the only modern browser which wrongly supports this is Firefox.

A current solution would be to combine the two:

<iframe src="" scrolling="no"></iframe>

iframe {
  overflow: hidden;
}

But this could be rendered obsolete as browsers update. You may want to check this for a JavaScript solution: http://www.christersvensson.com/html-tool/iframe.htm

Edit: I've checked and scrolling="no" will work in IE10, Chrome 25 and Opera 12.12.

How to make iFrame not have the scrolling bar

Like this:

<iframe ... scrolling="no"></iframe>

Edit: Also frameborder="0" is handy to hide the border.

How to ALWAYS show scrollbar in iframe in HTML5

It seems that scrolling="yes" was supported by some early browsers only. Judging from simulation of older versions in IE 11, it seems that IE 8 dropped the support: although the attribute as such is recognized, the value yes is not—scroll bars are shown only when the content does not fit in.

This is a change in browser practices. It has nothing to do with HTML5. In fact, HTML5 describes the attribute scrolling="yes" as mapping to the CSS setting overflow: scroll, which is somewhat misleading.

Modern browsers implement iframe so that the scroll bars are present, if needed for accessing all of the content, but not otherwise. Using scrolling=no or overflow: hidden, you can prevent the scroll bars from appearing, but not make them appear if the content fits (there is no overflow).

To make scroll bars appear, you need to make the embedded document set them up, e.g. by using body { overflow: scroll } in it. Then it does not matter what the iframe element says. The scroll bars will be passive (and light grey), when the content actually fits, but they will be there are occupy space, and they turn to active scroll bars as the content expands so that it does not fit. In the following example, I am embedding a page that sets body { overflow: scroll } and has an editable body element, so that you can add lines and see how the bars change:

<iframe src="http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/hello.html"></iframe>
