It should be easy to implement, a small rule can be add into html.css : iframe[seamless] { border:none; } The second part doesn't work but it should be something like this : iframe[seamless] scrollbar { display:none; }
this is a small rule that should Implement the border [border from ntim007] as well as the second part and makes most if not all values their default that could and should be added into html.css: iframe[seamless], iframe[seamless="*"]:not([seamless="false"]):not([seamless="no"]) { border:none; width:auto; height:auto; padding: 0px; background-color: transparent; overflow:visible; overflow-y:visible; overflow-x:visible; }

I have HTML5 seamless iframe too , because UC Browser 9.9 support seamless iframe no prefix as release. Link browser support - http://caniuse.com/#feat=iframe-seamless Picture - http://s7.postimg.org/kc4l375nf/Screenshot_from_2014_11_20_21_24_07.png
The navigation behaviour, when the seamless attribute is specified, relies on the source browsing context (see [1] step 3). We have this now and set it fairly consistently, but not correctly in all cases. Bug 960563 tracks this. [1] https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/browsers.html#navigate

This has been removed from the current HTML5 spec[1] and this bug should probably be closed. [1] https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/331

Good catch :ms2ger. Thx. Entry removed.
Per comment 7, the spec states: > The following properties have been added: srcdoc, sandbox, seamless, and contentWindow. Thus, the reason for WONTFIX was a misunderstanding. REOPENing on that ground. More importantly, this is a critically important feature for the web. iframes are an important security container, and having them size to content is a requirement in many places. One example is to take user contributed rich content, and render it as part of the page. Yet, the user content must not have access to the rest of the page. Concretely, if I was to write an email client as webapp, and I wanted to have a "conversation view" with consecutive emails, I would need this. I would jail each HTML email into a seamless iframe, and size the iframe to content, and then I could put 10 emails one after the other. Current webapps work around this by trying to sanitize the HTML on the server side before display. That is one solution, and they should continue to do that, but we all know that there are plenty of XSS exploits. The seamless iframe would be a welcome additional protection. The more apps migrate to the web, the more this is needed.

The spec doesn't define seamless anymore, so I don't see how we can keep this open. If you want seamless, file a spec bug and get it defined there. (MDN seems to still mention seamless even though it isn't in the spec and was even removed from Chrome https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/331#issuecomment-156712803)
