I'm using SimpleModal:

http://www.ericmmartin.com/projects/simplemodal/

And displaying an iframe, as per the example:

// Display an external page using an iframe
var src = "http://365.ericmmartin.com/";
$.modal('<iframe src="' + src + '" height="450" width="830" style="border:0">', {
    closeHTML:"",
    containerCss:{
        backgroundColor:"#fff",
        borderColor:"#fff",
        height:450,
        padding:0,
        width:830
    },
    overlayClose:true
});

And the popup has two sets of scrollbars, one perhaps for the HTML element representing the popup, and one for the iFrame. Try the demo to see.

Ideally I'd like no scrollbars if the content fits, otherwise a single vertical scrollbar.

Any ideas? Thanks!
