I am using JForum in an iFrame. When I access it using any of the Mozilla based browsers it functions as one would expect. However, when I use IE I experience a scrolling problem. The issue is that the container page for the iFrame does not scroll back to the top of the iFrame. So when a user creates a long message the screen can get "stuck" at the bottom when one clicks a link there, requiring manual scrolling of the outer page in order to get to readable material.

As I said, this does not happen with Mozilla. It also does not happen if JForum is out of the iFrame, or if the iFrame is populated with simple html content instead. So it appears to be some specific issue with JForum in an iFrame when viewed with IE.

Any help would be appreciated. (It makes for an awkward user experience, as you can imagine.)

IE does inherently have different behaviors than other browsers ... I call them bugs, Microsoft seems to think they are features. ;-)

Do you see your issue on this forum when using IE? iFrames are used for this site.

An untested thought... you might be able to add an onload Javascript event on the iframe that would scroll back up. I believe the onload occures anytime a new page is loaded in the iframe.
