scrollbar issue

Opened this issue · 2 comments

Hello!

So Bgiframe is a huge lifesaver - we have bused it to tackle the IE pdf issue with our css dropdown menus. However, we have run into an issue - our css menus have a max height, and once that height is filled, it begins to use a scrollbar within the menu (think the Facebook notifications). bgiframe does an excellent job making sure that the menus themselves appear in front of the PDFs in IE, but the scrollbars in the menus do not - they and they alone are still hidden. We have inspected the elements to make sure that the menus and the bgiframe are the same, correct width, and they are - but the scrollbar is still hidden. This might be a bgiframe issue or an IE rendering issue, not sure. Nowhere - and I mean nowhere - have we been able to find anyone else with this kind of problem. Any thoughts from you would be greatly appreciated!

Did you ever find a solution for your scrollbar issue?

In fact, we did! The solution was that we had to use JScrollPane. which put the scroll bar inside the iframe. When the browsers create the scrollbar, they place it outside the iframe, which means it does not get the benefits of bgiframe. So I guess it really isn't a solution, per se, but it is a workaround.
