Don't use an iframe. Use CSS! You can get a scrollbar in CSS without using iframes.

I can probably help you better if you could show me the URL to your site and tell me if you are using tables or CSS to layout your site.

But if you really want an iframe I can't help you as I know nothing about frames.

Try this:
<style type="text/css">

</style>
Put that into the head of the HTML file. Change the numbers to make it bigger or smaller.

And this where you want the scrollbar to show.
<div id=scroll>Your text</div>

TD.scroll {overflow: auto; width:600px; height:475px}
Put that in next to your A:hover thing. In between your style tags.

<TD COLSPAN=2 ROWSPAN=3 background="images/main_05.gif" class=scroll>

Tell me if that works.

Have you got some code we could try and debug for you then?

ok, ill give it a try,
<TD COLSPAN=2 ROWSPAN=6>

<IMG SRC="images/main_04.gif" width=15 height=460 ALT=""></TD>
</center>
<TD COLSPAN=2 ROWSPAN=3 background="images/main_05.gif">
Gallery
Great grafix on the
way made by Peter Watson. Please
be patient, it will be worth the wait I promise.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
</TD>
<TD ROWSPAN=8>

You dont have the class or id for the CSS anywhere.

Hey DrWolfGang,

Thanks for that beautifully clear, simple little code snippet. I just used it on a webpage I'm working on and it worked perfectly!

hey there m8 i use i-frames quite alot i think the code you are looking for is :

in your main page the one that hosts the iframe, withing the iframe code add this coding within the tag at some time

Scrolling=auto

if you want a perminant scrollbar weather your content is larger than the space or not type

Scrolling=yes

and surprizingly if you dont want it at all just dont type it :P or if you want to be anily retentive

Scrolling=no

so for an example
<iframe src="CONTENTOFFRAME.html" style="position:absolute; left:16%; top:30%;" name="body" width="69%" height="65%" align="60%" frameborder="0" marginwidth="" marginheight="" scrolling="auto"></iframe>

I used i frames in the construction of www.ambleskc.co.uk (http://www.ambleskc.co.uk) swing by some time and take a look

hope this helps
