                  <td>123</td>
                  <td>123</td>
                  <td>123</td>

              </tr>
            </tbody>
    </table>
 </body>
</html>

Now I want the iframe to scroll horizontally in the main page..

Will it scroll naturally as width of iframe is more than width of main containing table OR do we need to explicitly specify any attribute?

please help me. Thank you.

    I wouldn’t recommend putting I-frames in tables, or even using tables at all in this scenario.

    You can disable overflow for elements on the main page: for the iframe and the table td.
    overflow:hidden;

    And then for the body of your iframe page you can do
    overflow-x:scroll;

    or you can try it for the actual iframe class.
