    I guess this ought to work:

    <!DOCTYPE html 
     PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
     "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> 
 <head>
  <title>Test page!</title>
  <style type="text/css">
     html, body {
        overflow: hidden;
        margin: auto;
        height: 100%;
        width: 100%;
     }
  </style>
 </head>
 <body>
  <iframe src="page.htm" width="100%" height="100%" frameborder="0"></iframe>
 </body>
</html>

    Edit 1: You could just hide the scrollbars of the page, with the HTML and scroll=no directive
    (that solution should be multi-browser)

    Edit 2: Now even XHTML proof 😉

    Edit 3: And finally w3 validator ok
    (be sure to add scroll=no in the BODY if you run in Internet Explorer compatibility problems)
