Hi

I have an iframe that I have to use here

http://juicytravels.com/discount-first-business-class/

But it wants to be 1000px wide to not have horiz scrollbars. It’s set to 940px wide right now but…then the user has to scroll horiz which I think is bad.

Is there anyway to allow it to be 1000 wide without messing up the page?

Yeah, it is bad, because a user shouldn’t have to do a horizontal scroll. But even worse, even 940px is too wide. There’s just a bunch of white space to the right of the form.

Do you have any control over the iframe? If so, then you need to change

scrolling="auto"

to

scrolling="no"

or you could change

width="940"

to

width="600"

since the relevant portion of the iframe is only 570 pixels wide.

If you don’t have control over these aspects of the iframe, there’s not a lot you can do. But I suspect if you go back to wherever you got the iframe, you should be able to make these changes.

Sadly it’s not something I have control over.

Please oh please help me figure out the slider issues from my other post 🙂

What I mean by I have no control is that I can’t recreate the layout of it.

Here is what I have access to:

<p align=”center”><iframe name=”Flight Search” src=”http://www.farebuzz.com/Affiliates/Default.aspx?tabid=2087&caID=52181&FpAffiliate=JuicyTravelsB2C&FpSub=&&#8221; frameborder=”0″ marginwidth=”0″ marginheight=”0″ scrolling=”yes” width=”940″ height=”575″></iframe></p>

But the problem is not in when you land on the page. It’s after you do a search, then the frame wants to be wider than the allowed space in the body of the page, so it pushes it out ugly if I don’t use the scroll bars. So what I’m really asking is, is there a way to make just that page have a wider body area? I get it that it creates visual layout problems for the upper area. What if I make just that flight search be a pop out window, without all the navigation and design stuff…I forget what that’s called…where just the content of the frame pops out on it’s like a new window with just the contents of the frame?

I think you mean “pop-up” window.

You could accomplish it by providing a link to the iframe, like this:

<a href="http://www.farebuzz.com/Affiliates/Default.aspx?tabid=2087&caID=52181&FpAffiliate=JuicyTravelsB2C&FpSub=&" target="blank">Book a flight</a>

You would have to do this in the HTML editor. The target="_blank" is what makes it open in a new window. Not a very elegant solution, I’m afraid, but a solution.

Ok thanks. I thought I remembered something that was slightly more elegant like…a borderless window or something like that. I’ll dig around.

Thanks again 🙂

I just looked at that term in google and it looks like it was old technology that didn’t last. I don’t like the open in a new window as it turns out, you’re right, it’s not every elegant, but I see what I mean, is a solution.

Is there no way just for that page to let it be wider than the header of the site or increase the overall width of the main container to allow it?

I just can’t stand that sideways scroll problem.
