<IFRAME style="WIDTH: 490px" src="anything.htm"

frameBorder=1

scrolling=no height=80 > </IFRAME>

Hi
Is there a way to format the border of iframe so that instead of having the uggly 3d default I will have a thin flat colour finishment line ? :?:
is there a way to control this by means an external CSS ?
Cheers

You can add a border but the style is defined by the Operating System style.

you can add a border most browser wil show it

style="border:1px solid #000000"
wil replace the 3d border with a black one of 1 pixel

make it 0px to completely remove the border

In an iframe you remove the iframe border (browser border) by placing a tag as follows:

<iframe frameborder="#"></iframe>

# = 1 for yes, and 0 for no

You're welcome, as well as the rest of you who should be thanking me, 3d borders suck so get rid of all of them.

Sorry to hear you didn't find a satisfying answer to your question.

To style an iframe border the first thing to do is remove the border elements from the html and the height may be removed
Code: <IFRAME style="WIDTH: 490px" src="anything.htm"
scrolling="no"></IFRAME>

If you want inlne css it can be styled as such
Code: <IFRAME style="width:490px; height:80px; border:1px solid #000000;" src="anything.htm" scrolling=no></IFRAME>

If you want embedded css you must give the iframe an id or assign a class. Either one is fine and will do the same thing with the exception of id's may be used only once per page and a class may be repeated.

Embedded css goes in the head section of the page
Code: (using an id)
<IFRAME id="myframe" src="anything.htm" scrolling=no></IFRAME>

<style type="text/css">
#myframe {
width:490px;
height:80px;
border:1px solid #000000;
}
</style>

Code: (using a class)
<IFRAME class="myframe" src="anything.htm" scrolling=no></IFRAME>

<style type="text/css">
.myframe {
width:490px;
height:80px;
border:1px solid #000000;
}
</style>
