Both have scrollbars and it is impossible to scroll them. The overall page does not need to scroll therefor dragging doesn't work.

Thanks everyone for the comments which helped me focus on the real issue.

I'm obviously expecting too much from a tiny browser !

Yeah; embedded frames do not work well in many "mobile" browsers. I don't think it was even until iOS 5 that iPhones/iPods properly handled scrollable frames/divs embedded within a page (and even then, you needed to do a two-finger scroll if I remember right).

Is there any way to access the page without the frames? Perhaps find the url for the main part of the page?
