<object> and scrollbars

2006-12-12 07:58:00 PM
Is there a way to get rid of these? I've viewed the page in FF1.5, IE6 and
Op9. Only Opera is displaying my subpage without them.
www.listyblue.com/test.htm
I think I can get around the issue by using iframes, but I've been striving
to use Strict DTD so it would be a shame to drop it.
Any help greatly appreciated.

First of all, the "scrolling" parameter isn't valid for <object>in
XHTML 1.0 Strict, though.
validator.w3.org/check
htm
Second, is there any special reason you're using the <object>tag for
this, btw? AFAICT, the <img>tag is sufficient for this usage.
Third, the reason IE is showing the object with scrollbars, is that
there appears to be a margin around the image.
I also viewed the page in FF1.5, and it showed up just fine there.

My site allows users to upload their own pictures. They are stored in a
protected directory. The test.php page retrieves the relevant image by
using HTTP headers.

There isn't. IE has just inserted it there.

Which is weird. It looks like crud on mine.
Thanks for looking anyway. I think it's a no go - I've googled for a way to
do this and come up with blank. I guess I'll use <iframe>and Transitional
DTD. Just thought I'd try the collective brains here!
