help a mod - Scrolling within Frames

[moe_4eva]

Hey all, I figure one of you can help me, so here it goes:

I'm wondering how you scroll within a frame. Simple enough? Basically, if I have a frame like in my novell webaccess email browser, I can't seem to scroll within that individual frame (where there would be another scroll bar in IE). Anyway to do this? Am I simply retarted?

Good question, I'll have a play on the train and see if I can figure it out ;)

Just had a go, seems like you can't control frames at all mate.

Hey Moe, you know better. Where is your descriptive title? :p :D :cool:

Try scrolling with two fingers instead of one. That normally scrolls within frames, and works fine in my own Novell GroupWise WebAccess portal (and other similar frame-based web pages).

Jesse, I tested that out as well and it didn't work for me. I tried it on a stock vBulletin control panel.

Well, it only works when the entire page isn't already rendered. Within a vBulletin control panel, for example, the scrolling doesn't handle frames separately because the entire page has already been rendered, so even though in a normal browser you could scroll through each frame separately, the iPhone Safari browser doesn't let you do this. The frame-based scrolling only works when the content of a frame isn't already fully displayed, as would be the case in a pop-up window on some webmail systems.

You can find more information on it over in Using Safari on iPod touch and iPhone with websites containing frames (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=307063) on Apple's support site.

That did the trick, thanks Jesse.
