Despite the myths, search engines will quite happily read pages containing iframes as long as you follow the code outlined below:
<iframe src="panel.html" width="99%" height="99%" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" name="mainiframe" id="mainiframe scrolling="auto">
<p>
If you can read this, it means that either your browser doesn't support iframes, or that you have iframe support turned off. To view the page content, click <a href="panel.html" target="mainiframe">here</
</p>
</iframe>
Also, if you are really worried about iframes add the following to the head section of your page code:
<META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="ALL,INDEX,FOLLOW"
This will tell the search engine spider to index the page and follow all links
If you are going to use this though, you will have the individual iframe pages indexed in the search engine. This can cause problems, as when the page is loaded, it is only the iframe contents displayed, not the rest of the panels. A way round this is to do the following:
--------------------------
ADD THE FOLLOWING TO THE INDEX PAGE WHERE THE IFRAME IS SET UP:
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function checkParams(){
if(location.search){
var loc = location.search.split("sho
if(loc.length==2){
frames.mainiframe.location
}
}
}
//-->
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
if(window.location.href.in
window.location+="index.ht
}
//-->
</script>
Change index.html to the name of the page you use to set up the iframe.
Change mainiframe to the name of your iframe.
--------------------------
ADD THE FOLLOWING TO THE SAME PAGE INSIDE THE BODY TAG:
onLoad="checkParams();"
e.g. It should look something like <body onLoad="checkParams();">
--------------------------
ADD THE FOLLOWING TO EACH OF THE CONTENT PAGES THAT USE THE IFRAME:
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
if(parent.location.href.in
path = window.location.pathname.s
window.location="index.htm
}
//-->
</script>
Change index.html to the name of the page you use to set up the iframe
--------------------------
Hope this helps,

Hi,
There in no way to use the overflow-y:auto in Firefox that I am aware of. However, it is possible to use the standard overflow:auto with one condition. You have to specify the height of the content panel as it will not work if it is set with percentages. Your code will look like this:
<html>
<head>
<title>Panels</title>
<style type="text/css">
div.content {
border: solid;
border-width: 3px 3px 3px 3px;
border-color:red;
height: 500px;
overflow: auto;
width: 99.5%;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<TABLE id="tblParent" borderColor="#ccc6b0" cellSpacing="0" height="100%" cellPadding="0" width="100%" border="1">
<TR style="height:50px">
<TD colSpan="3" valign="top">
TopPanel
</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD width="115">
Left Panel
</TD>
<TD valign="top">
<div class="content">
Panel Panel Panel Panel Panel Panel Panel Panel Panel Panel Panel Panel Panel Panel Panel <br/>

</TABLE>
</body>
</html>
If you wanted the page to resize depending on the screen resolution you could have different style sheets with the div.content css in them, just change the height in each one. You could then use javascript to check the users screen resoultion and load the correct style sheet.
Apart from that I really don't think there are any other options open to you.

"overflow-y" is indeed a IE-only css property.
But "overflow" is a standard CSS2 property and is supported by both IE and FF:
http://hepunx.rl.ac.uk/~ad
So, just change your "overflow-y:auto" to "overflow:auto", and everything should be fine.
If you absolutely what to hide the horzontal scrollbars, FF has a proprietary equivalent to IE's "overflow-y":
overflow: -moz-scrollbars-horizontal
overflow: -moz-scrollbars-vertical
Well... from the doc, "overflow: -moz-scrollbars-vertical" is supposed to force the display of the vertical scrollbar, so it's equivalent to "display-y: scroll"... so it'not what you need.
But it's always good to know mozilla also has non-standard css properties/values.
Use the standard "display: auto".
Another problem is that your page does not have a doctype.
Add this doctype, and you'll see, the page will behave "correctly" in IE.
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html
The "correct" behaviour of a table is to adjust its size when it needs to fit additional content.
I understand the final reslut you want to have, but i'm affraid you'll need to use a different technique.
You could do it with absolute positioning... not a great solution.
The layout you want is not how a webpage is "supposed" to behave.
It works in IE quirks mode (without the doctype), i agree, but don't expect it to work on standard-compliant browsers.
Here is an example of what you can do with absolute positioning:
http://www.serger.biz/ee/i
It works great in both IE and FF and it's standard-compliant html/css.
Thank u very much GrandSchtroumpf

Hi,
Mozilla does not support the overflow element. A possible workaround for you would be to use an iframe.
Here is your code with the iframe:
<html>
<head>
<title>Panel</title>
<body>
<table id="tblParent" borderColor="#ccc6b0" cellSpacing="0" height="100%" cellPadding="0" width="100%" border="1">
<tr style="height:50px">
<td colSpan="3" valign="top">TopPanel</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="115">Left Panel</td>
<td valign="top">
<div STYLE="height:100%;width:1
<iframe src="panel.html" width="99%" height="99%" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" name="mainiframe" scrolling="auto"></iframe>
</div>
</td>
<td width="61">Right Panel</td>
</tr>
<tr style="height:50px">
<td colspan="3">Bottom Panel
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
Save the following as panel.html
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
Panel Panel Panel Panel Panel Panel Panel Panel Panel Panel Panel Panel Panel Panel Panel <br/>Panel <br/>Panel <br/>Panel <br/>Panel <br/>Panel <br/>Panel <br/>Panel <br/>Panel <br/>Panel <br/>Panel <br/>Panel <br/>Panel <br/>Panel <br/>Panel <br/>Panel <br/>Panel <br/>Panel <br/>Panel <br/>Panel <br/>Panel <br/>Panel <br/>Panel <br/>Panel <br/>Panel <br/>Panel <br/>Panel <br/>Panel <br/>Panel <br/>Panel <br/>
</body>
</html>
Hope this helps,
John
