645025 - When using an internal link in an Iframe the internal link will only scroll the Iframe (if the Iframe has scroll bars) and will not scroll the containing web page.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 638598

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Joel]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:2.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:2.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0

This issue also exists on Windows XP.

If you have an internal link in an Iframe the link will only scroll the Iframe, not the containing webpage, so if there is no scroll bar in your Iframe it will do nothing.

For your convenience I have uploaded a test page demonstrating this problem to http://firstviewonline.com/demo/Firefox-bug/FF4-bug-test.html. If you examine the source you will see "id='toptoptop'" at the top, but the link at the bottom that says "Straight to the top" does not work.

We are using an Iframe in one of our pages. This iframe is not wide and has a lot of content so we extended the Iframe to prevent creation a scroll bar inside the Iframe. Now our internal links to various sections of the text do not work. We tested everything, tried "name=" and "Id=", but to no avail, so we mocked up a fake page with the basics. Then we created a second page who's sole purpose was to use an iframe to import the first page. We stretched the iframe to prevent the double scroll bar, and sure enough that is the issue. It works in FF 3.6, Safari, Chrome, IE 8 + IE8 compatibility mode.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a webpage with an iFrame.

2. Load some HTML into the iFrame that includes internal links.

3. Size the iFrame so that the only scroll bars in existence are those on the edge of the browser (none on the iFrame).

4. Click an internal link that should cause the page to scroll (no scrolling will occur).
Actual Results:  
Firefox did not go to the correct section of the page. It just stayed were it was.

Expected Results:  
Expected Firefox to scroll to the Id= tag I had in place.
