Hello

I have some html content that is displayed inside an IFrame.
Sometimes the content is larger (vertically) than the height of the IFrame.
I don't want the IFrame to have a scrollbar, because it looks ugly.
Is there a way to add two arrow buttons (one at the top and one at the bottom), so when the user will click the top button, the frame will scroll up and if the user will click the bottom button, the frame will scroll down?

Basically I am trying to immitate the scrolling effect that the scrollbar has, but without the scrollbar.

BTW, the solution should work on IE5.5 and above.

thanks in advance

You have four options as far as i am concerned. Either create it using div's, or make the i-frame height="100%" and scrollbars="no", or keep it how it is.

The forth idea is probably the best. You can use CSS to make the scrollbar colors the same as the background apart from the arrows which you can defince easily. This would get rid of the scrollbars and also have the arrows which you wanted.
