    Hello Jotform,

    I cant display my content - via iframe - at the right size, even setting the size in px in the plugin options.

     

    Here is the content :

    (approx. 370x 280px)

    Here the result embed : https://form.jotformeu.com/70231899802359

    Please inject this custom CSS inside the widget to decrease the width of the iFrame:

    iframe {
    width: 340px !important;
    }

    Just click the widget field and then click the "Widget Settings" button. After that, go to the "Custom CSS" tab and paste the code. Click the "Update Widget" button when you're done.

    Hello Jan,

    Thank you for your message. I adjusted height and width to get ride off of the black iframe's background. This work on Safari, Chrome & Firefox.

    iframe {width: 300px !important; height: 371px !important;}

    1) Its working :) but the solution is not so neat, here a way to delete that black background of modifying it to white or transparent ?

    2) I also had scrolling bar inside the iframe when i move the cursor over it. How can i stop to display them. I guess its by using the attribute frameborder=0 but where can i fix that ?

     

    Thanks a lot,

    Regards,

     

    Sebastien

    I assume you're referring to this:

    I don't see the black background?

    Also, do you need the scrollbars removed or no? 

    I searched for some CSS to fix that issue, but none worked so far.

    I'll check further.

    Thank you!

    Hello !

    I was reffering to the background of an iframe (like when you embed an youtube video with the wrong size). There some black bars on each side of the content. The problem was fixed setting the right ratio height/width in px for the iframe (like in my last example). But im still afraid of browsers interpretation...so i was asking for remove that black background ou turn it white. If its not possible, i will deal with.

    And, yes i need to remove the scrollbars in the Iframes. It my real question.

    Thx!

    Regards,

    I checked the webpage you are trying to embed and I noticed that the background-color of the wrapper where the animation is set to "black" or "rgba(0,0,0,0)". It should be "rgba(255,255,255,1);", which is equal to "white".
