I have an IFrame on a page.
As soon as the page loads, I want that iFrame to have scrolled down. (Basicly ignoring the content at the top of that iFrame).

Kinda like this is the content of the iFrame:

Unwanted content

Some stuff

[
[
[ The only bit I want to see.
[
[

The frame will only be 5 "lines" high, so it should scroll down, and I should only see;

[
[
[ The only bit I want to see.
[
[

I want it to scroll to that point without the user having to do anything. Does anyone know a nice script? :P

I hope I explained what I meant properly :/

What you can do is have a div on the bit that you only want to see:

Text up here....
<div>Text...</div>
And then give it an id, so lets say "bit":

Text up here....
<div id="bit">Text...</div>

And then on the iframe parent page, do it like this:

<iframe src="page.html#bit"></iframe>

For this to work though your Iframe needs to be scrolling.
So for an example, there's a div on this page called footer, so I can run this code:

<iframe src="http://www.dynamicdrive.com/forums/showthread.php?t=33669#footer" height="700" width="1000"/>

And it will go straight to the bottom(witch is where the footer div is), when the iframe loads.

The thing is, the page is not mine. It's an external page, and has no "id" tags on anything.
Any ideas?
I read something about "window.scroll(0,0);", not sure what it is, but if it worked, how would I make it happen "on load" within the iFrame? :/

Hi,

I've found a "creative" solution to this IFRAME auto-scroll issue...

Solution? Create a container-DIV, set a fixed height on it (For ex: style="height: 1000px"), then use an auto-scroll

script to scroll down the page.

Now...

For the IFRAME: set it up as you wish (with attributes, styling, etc.), but create a fixed height (For ex:

style="height: 1000px"), preferably the same as the DIV. The DIV should surround (be the container of) the IFRAME

itself.

Now, the DIV and the IFRAME will be of the same height, and the scrolling script will give the APPEARANCE that the

IFRAME itself is scolling down, while it's actually the containing DIV (page) that does it.

I hope this helps!

Example script:
-------------------------------------
<script language=JavaScript>

function ScrollDown() {
window.scrollBy(0,10);
scrolldelay = setTimeout('pageScroll()',100);
}

window.onload=ScrollDown;

</script>

<div style="height: 1000px;">

<iframe src="http://www.urlgoeshere.com" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" width="100%"

height="1000px" style="padding: 0; margin: 0; border: 0;"></iframe>

</div>

The following you need to know if you want an IFRAME to scroll itself
1) if you are Planning to scrool it you MUST* have the same domain/subdomain into iframe target (src)
2) Mayby some settings on INTRANET are required. (IE) "*MAYBY**

here its the code:

<iframe id="x1" src="mydomain.com/file.php">Unsupported</iframe>

<script>
function xfunc(){
var a = document.getElementById('x1').contentWindow;
a.scrollTo(0,200);/*scroll down [bboyse]*/
}
</script>

THATS ALL.
