    Can someone please explain to me why this page:

    http://www.tlpromotions.com/workspace/sitemap.html

    has a horizontal scrollbar on the iFrame when using IE 6.0?

    I have tried everything I can think of including validating all the markup, using overflow-x:hidden in every place possible and doubly, triple checking that the contents of the sitemap are well within the frame width...

    I will be most indebted to anyone who solves this, cos I am at a complete loss.

    Is it to do with the table width being set to 516px (and IE not taking the width of the vertical scrollbar in to account, where as FF does)?

    nope dont think so. i tried reducing the width to cater for the vertical scrollbar and yet the horizontal one remains...... ahhhhhhhhhhhh! :mad: :mad: :mad:

    And the answer is....

    remove the following from the DTD definition "http://www.w3c.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/loose.dtd"

    and the horizontal scrollbar will disappear, leaving the vertical. If you still want to use the full DTD on the sitemap page, there may be a stricter one you can use (but I don't know off the top of my head - can dig it out tonight if you insist ;) )
