Hide horizontal scrollbar on an iframe?

Question

I need to hide the horizontal scollbar on an iframe using css, jquery or js.

Answer 1

I'd suggest doing this with a combination of

1. CSS overflow-y: hidden;
2. scrolling="no" (for HTML4)
3. and seamless="seamless" (for HTML5)*

^{* The seamless attribute has been removed from the standard, and no browsers support it.}

---

.foo {
  width: 200px;
  height: 200px;
  overflow-y: hidden;
}

<iframe src="https://bing.com" 
        class="foo" 
        scrolling="no" >
</iframe>

Answer 2

This answer is only applicable for websites which use Bootstrap. The responsive embed feature of the Bootstrap takes care of the scrollbars.

<!-- 16:9 aspect ratio -->
<div class="embed-responsive embed-responsive-16by9">
  <iframe class="embed-responsive-item" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/WsFWhL4Y84Y"></iframe>
</div>

Answer 3

set scrolling="no" attribute in your iframe.

Answer 4

If you are allowed to change the code of the document inside your iframe and that content is visible only using its parent window, simply add the following CSS in your iframe:

body {
    overflow:hidden;
}

Here a very simple example:

This solution allow you to:

• Keep you HTML5 valid as it does not need scrolling="no" attribute on the iframe (this attribute in HTML5 has been deprecated).

• Works on the majority of browsers using CSS overflow:hidden

• No JS or jQuery necessary.

Notes:

To disallow scroll-bars horizontally, use this CSS instead:

overflow-x: hidden;
