Name
SCROLLING — NN 2 IE 3 HTML 4
Synopsis
SCROLLING=auto | no | yes
Optional
By default, browsers add vertical and/or horizontal scrollbars when
the content loaded into a frame exceeds the visible content region of
the frame. Scrollbars can affect the layout of some content because
they occupy space normally devoted to content (that is, the frame
does not expand to accommodate scrollbars). Also, due to differences
in default font sizes in browsers and operating system versions, a
given collection of text content may display differently in different
clients. If you want to prevent scrollbars from appearing in the
frame, set the SCROLLING attribute to
no; if you want scrollbars to be in the frame at
all times, set the attribute to yes. In the latter
case, if the content does not require scrolling, the scrollbars are
disabled. In some older versions of Navigator, the automatic
scrollbars remain visible, even if content not requiring them is
subsequently loaded into a frame. In Navigator 4 (and all versions of
Internet Explorer), the automatic scrollbars appear only when needed.
Setting the SCROLLING attribute to
no should be used only after you have tested on
all browsers and platforms that mission-critical content is always
visible in the frame. If the frame is set to not scroll and has the
NORESIZE attribute set, some users might not be
able to see all the content of the frame.
