IE6 scroll event not working inside Iframe

Question

So here is our scenario... We have a old website and from that website,on click of a button, we launch our newly developed application from within an IFrame. Now In IE6 , I am trying to catch the scroll event (ie catch the scroll of the browser). However,it dosent either the event isnt getting fired or i am not tapping into the right object. The strange thing is that I am able to catch the event if we directly open our new website and do not come from the old website.So this points towards the IFrame as being teh culprit...but I am still not able to figure this out

We use jquery so I tried.. a) $(window).scroll b) $(window.parent).scroll c) $(window.parent.window).scroll d) $(window.top).scroll

Any help would be greatly appreciated....

Answer 1

Sometimes jQuery has problems firing the event if top level parent elements have their css overflow property set to anything other than auto.
