CSS - Content Overflow:scroll?
Similar TutorialsI want a fixed height table, so I'm using overflow: scroll for the tbody. This works well in Firefox but does not work in Opera or IE. Does a solution exist to my problem? when you put overflow: auto; into a div it adds a horizontal scroll bar in, is there a way using css and/or html to make it add a vertical scroll bar instead of a horizontal one so when the text got to the end of the div instead of extending the div it just adds a vertical scroll? Thanks in advance! Aloha, Is there any way to make overflow: auto & overflow: scroll use the wheel mouse on mozilla / mozilla firefox ? Here's my design for any of you who might be confused about what i'm asking: http://ub3r.net/oxiserve/ . Thanks. love, mikey Here's my next IE challenge (or frustration). It deals with the overflow attribute. Overflow property was a challenge on my page since the page emulates position fixed for IE. The present scenario deals with the pre element. Sometimes the content in the pre container exceed the parent container's width. IE expands the parent containers width as a result. The workaround for this scenario relates to the overflow property and using a wrapper with the height set to 1% . Now, IE maintains the parent container width. Apparently, the wrapper ensures that IE renders hasLayout. I am not exactly sure why it works, but it has predictable results. The workaround involves wrapping a pre element in a div, WrapOverflow. Now, you could set the overflow auto attribute on the child pre element. Apparently, the wrapper ensures that IE renders hasLayout. I am not exactly sure why it works, but it has predictable results. Firefox has no need for the wrapper and still renders the page accurately with the superfluous code. The problem relates to IE rendering pre/wrapper with a smaller height. By controlling the horizontal expansion; the workaround has somehow constrained the height as well. The net effect is a vertical scroll bar, which is not ideal. Compare the scenario in both Firefox and IE; set the browser next to each other; notice the div.WrapOverflow pre container height. Screenshots are below and review the code for a full illustration. Yes, you must be thinking change overflow auto to overflow vertical. Let's not jump to a quick conclusion. Understanding what is going on here is important as well. The pre container's height should grow in IE, but the page's complexity and various hacks muddle the scenario. I have already spent a month on this scenario, but do not have the skill to decipher what various hacks impose on my layout. Let me know if you have any good ideas, explanations, or suggestions on this situation. http://neville.f2o.org/nifty_TEMP2.html Hello everyone, relatively new web developer seeking help! I'm working on a template that will eventually be used with Joomla, but right now I'm just concerned about getting the layout to work with just the HTML and CSS. I want to create a fixed frame around the webpage that expands and contracts to fit different resolutions and browser window resizing, and then have the content scroll inside of that frame. The frame is also comprised of transparent PNG's since the client wanted lots of art on the frame around the content. It mostly works in Firefox, and is a giant mess in IE at the moment. I'd like to get it working in the standards compliant browsers first and then figure out some hacks that I can use for IE. Hopefully I can do that....

In FireFox everything works and the scroll bar pops up, but won't actually scroll anywhere, even though there is content off screen? Any thoughts? I am slightly concerned that this is just totally undoable, but then I look at some of the stuff on CSS Zen Garden and think that there must be a way to pull it off! Any help is very, very much appreciated. Title sounds a bit contradictory, I know, but please bear with me... I'm building a simple chat application with html, javascript php and mysql. The technical stuff (php/ajax etc) i'm absolutly fine with; what I'm struggling with is the CSS to make it behave how I want. I've got a prrof-of-concept page working 90% how I want, here http://chris.loyaltymatters.co.uk/chat-demo/ This works by having an outer div of position:relative and an inner div of position:absolute; bottom:0px so that as new content gets added to the bottom, older text goes up. So far so good....but I want a scroll bar so that I can scroll up to see previous comments. Giving the inner div a height value gives me a scroll bar, but the position remains at the top and new content gets hidden towards the bottom html: Code: <div id='container'> <div id='chatRoom'> </div> </div> css Code: #container {
width:500px;
height:500px;
margin:50px auto;
border:1px solid black;
position:relative;
overflow-y:scroll;
overflow-x:hidden;
}
#chatRoom {
position:absolute;
bottom:0px;
margin:5px;
width:100%;
}
To summarise, all I need now is a scroll bar so that I can scroll up many thanks in advance Hi, I've created a fixed width Div/CSS design for my forum, and while Firefox can handle excessively wide user-posted images, IE handles it badly and stretches the div that the image is in, breaking the layout. An example is he http://forums.hiveworldterra.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=496 (currently with my CSS work around - not pretty) What I would like is a non-Javascript, CSS-based method (or very minimal that gives acceptable results when JS is off) of making the containing Div of the image scroll horizontally when the image is over 590px wide, but not show a vertical scroll bar and not show any scroll bars if the image is under 590px. Is that even possible? thanks for any suggestions IBBoard I've got the div below Code:
<style>
div
{
height: 100px;
position: absolute;
overflow-y: auto;
}
</style>
<div>
Some text goes here<br>
Some text goes here<br>
Some text goes here<br>
Some text goes here<br>
Some text goes here<br>
Some text goes here<br>
Some text goes here<br>
Some text goes here<br>
Some text goes here<br>
</div>
This div is the width required to hold the text. Unfortunately once the scroll bar is added to the div it obscures the text. Is there a way to make the div expand horizontally that bit extra required by the scrollbar? I know i can put padding-right on the div. I'm looking for a way that will only expand if further if a scrollbar is needed. I have a website im developing and I wanted to know how i would go about having a graphic element that floats on top of everything but if it goes outside the bounds of the window it wont introduce scroll bars. Reason: I have an image that i want to make quite long but its not important for the viewer to see the end of the image. I guess its a bit like a background image but on the top Thanks I currently have a drop down menu on a sidebar that when you roll over the buttons(each its own list item) a drop down menu appears over top of the buttons underneath the one your mouse is on. This works fine in Firefox of course but in IE the drop down menu goes underneath the other buttons. Any suggestions how to fix this? I have a layer 'main' that contains two columns - one on the left called 'left', one on the right called 'right'. Both columns are layers themselves. 'main' has a background colour 'left' and 'right' have a fixed size background image which does not repeat. JavaScript determines the size of the window and then sets the height of these three layers exactly. This is supposed to be a minimum height to ensure the page is filled initially, however I have used the following code (explained later): Code:
if( document.documentElement && ( document.documentElement.clientWidth || document.documentElement.clientHeight ) ) {
myHeight = document.documentElement.clientHeight;
}
else if( document.body && ( document.body.clientWidth || document.body.clientHeight ) ) {
myHeight = document.body.clientHeight;
}
// main height
var pageHeight = myHeight;
document.getElementById("main").style.height = pageHeight+"px";
// content height
var leftHeight = pageHeight - 233;
document.getElementById("left").style.height = leftHeight+"px";
document.getElementById("right").style.height = leftHeight+"px";
Content on 'right' may extend beyond the height of the page and therefore makes the page scroll. When the content in 'right' expands - it is hoped that the size of 'main' expands so that the background colour of this layer fills the space where the content overflows. Using the above JavaScript and this HTML - that works as desired in IE7. Code:
<div id="main" style="position: relative; margin: 0 auto; width: 680px; background: #E1E6EA; text-align: left; padding: 0; z-index: 2">
<div id="left" style="float: left; text-align: center; margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 198px; background: #E1E6EA; background-image: url('images/left.jpg'); background-repeat: no-repeat; z-index: 3">
blah
</div>
<div id="right" style="float: right; text-align: center; margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 482px; background: #E1E6EA; background-image: url('images/right.jpg'); background-repeat: repeat-x; z-index: 3; overflow: inherit">
badly coded extra bit to extend the layer
<br><br><br><br><br><br>
gfdgf
<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>
gfgf
<br><br><br><br>yhyuyuy
<br><br><br><br><br><br>
gfdgf
<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>
gfgf
<br><br><br><br>yhyuyuy
</div>
</div>
As the content of 'right' expands so does the background behind everything. HOWEVER - this only works in IE and not the other two test browsers: Safari and Firefox. To remedy this - I tried minHeight instead of height. The outcome of that - the background behind 'right' extends (because the background colour continues past the minHeight) but the background behind 'left' is just not shown and the background of 'main' does not extent. Therefore it has a background on the left hand side until the minHeight of 'main' then the left hand side has no background after that point. That's in Firefox and Safari. With this "solution" in IE - it goes a bit weird but since it doesn't even work right in the other two I ignore that for now. So - it either works in IE or not at all. Hence why I am currently using the code that at least works in a browser. Any suggestions to get it working in all? Dear all, IE problems trying to get a large amount of content to sit in a smaller div with overflow set to auto. In FF it works perfectly, but in IE the outer div ignores the width value I have set and instead expands to the width of the content. My code: Code: <div id="calendarWrapper" style="width:800px;height:600px;overflow:scroll;"> <div style="width:4000px;height:1000px;overflow:auto;background-image:url(img/calendarBackground.gif);position:relative"> <div style="background-color:#FFFFCC;position:absolute;top:76px;left:150px;width:1000px;height:74px;">Test</div> <div style="background-color:#FFFFCC;position:absolute;top:151px;left:300px;width:750px;height:74px;">Test</div> <div style="background-color:#FFFFCC;position:absolute;top:1px;left:75px;width:100px;height:74px;">Test</div> </div> </div> I found a couple more threads similar to this but none with a solution. any help most appreciated. Mark Hi everyone. I recently redesigned my website and while it looks great in firefox, I'm having huge problems in IE 6.0. I have several pages with >50 thumbnails, and whenever these pages load in IE, scrollbars appear to the right and bottom of the div and quickly move by themselves to the upper left hand corner of the screen as the thumbnails load, shrinking the content into a little box of nothing in the upper left hand corner. The link to the site is in my profile, I am not allowed to post a url here since I'm new. The main page of the site is fine, but any of the links at the left will cause the problem because of all the thumbnails. I have been using "Group Photos" as the page to test. I am still a newbie at CSS and got this template for free and have tweaked it a bit. It came with an IE hack ("fix.css") that maybe isn't working properly. This is the IE hack: Code:
html
{overflow:hidden;}
body
{height:100%; width:100%; overflow:auto;}
Here is the relevant code from my main stylesheet ("eyecandy.css"): Code:
#sidebar
{position:absolute; top:0; left:0; width:220px; height:100%; overflow:auto; background:#e0e0e0; text-align:right;}
body > #sidebar
{position:fixed;}
#menu a
{display:block; width:202px; padding:2px 18px 3px 0; color:#606060; background:#e0e0e0; font-size:1.1em; font-weight:normal; text-decoration:none; letter-spacing:-1px;}
#content
{width:685px; margin:0 0 0 240px; padding:20px 0; background:#fafafa;}
Can anyone help? I hate I can't even post a link to the site directly or even the css file to make it easier. Both the CSS files I named are in the parent directory if you want to see them. Hi Could someone tell me why the content is not showing in Netscape 7 please This is the site http://www.hardingscatering.co.uk/06/index.htm I have put an overflow property on the container div, so FF can show white as the bground colour. But when viewed in Netscape the content is not there and on other pages a scroll bar appears. I always have trouble with this, and would really like to know what I am doing wrong. Thanks for any help. This must be a very basic question but I'm all confused. Have a left sidebar div positioned (top, left)=(0,0) fixed, a header div positioned (0,sidebar-width) fixed, and a content div below the header at (header-height, sidebar-width) holding a tall table. Experiments with a body margin worked at one point, but the content would show on the margins when it scrolled, so I nested a div inside the sidebar and header and moved those to the (left: 0) and (top: 0) respectively. Eventually I lost the plot completely. 1) How do I get the sidebar and header to float above the content div, so the latter could scroll out of sight under the former? 2) How do I force the div header to match the width of the content div below if a user zooms the text and grows the content div or table width? Bear with me please. I am brand new to html/CSS etc... I just cobbled together a page a few days ago using someone elses code as a reference, I hardly know what I did or how it works, but it works just like I want it to - Background centered and stationary (no scrolling with content), but the content does scroll, with NO horizontal scroll bar. You can view it he bit(dot)ly/rbsZsH - THIS IS WHAT I WANT MY OTHER PAGE TO DO Ok, so feeling smug, I tried to do another one like it, without the sidebar/header, etc... For the most part it works, EXCEPT - I have an unexpected horizontal scroll bar that goes about 50% across the browser and allows the user to pull the content off-center across the background. I have nearly pulled my hair out trying to fix it and put a hidden message under the content just for fun.. (make lemonade when you get lemons, right?) You can view second page he bit(dot)ly/qMbYl2 - THIS IS THE GOOFY PAGE The only real clue I have is that the first page is set to 780px wide and has this comment in the container div: /* using 20px less than a full 800px width allows for browser chrome and avoids a horizontal scroll bar */ My second page container div is set to 802px because I am using an image from Photoshop rather than a background color. Thank you if any of you can shed light on the situation. P.S. - I'm sure I've totally butchered the code, and you can assume when you answer that I can cut and paste but not really understand what you are saying. My CSS works in IE and Mozilla but not Netscape or Opera I have a 2 column website, built with 2 relative position DIVs, with overflow set to auto. Because of this, I turned off overflow on the body tag and on the html tag (overflow: hidden;). I didn't want to have 2 scroll bars on the right side of the window. When I first tested this on 4 browsers, IE, Mozilla, Netscape and Opera, it worked great, only having one scroll bar on the right side of the window when the page was longer than the window height. But when I moved to a new host server recently, I discovered that Netscape and Opera stopped working. They now simply give me blank screens. When I remove the "overflow: hidden;" specifications from the body tag and the HTML tag in my CSS file, Netscape and Opera once again display my web pages. However, now I get 2 scrollbars on the right side of all 4 browsers (in IE, the second scrollbar isn't actually there, but the space holder for the scrollbar is there). Is there a cross browser way for doing what I'm trying to do? Or am I faced with detecting the browser type on the server-side, and setting the style sheet appropriately? Here are the related parts of my CSS: /* CSS styles */ BODY { font-family : Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif ; font-size : 10pt; background : Black; color : White; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-width: 0; overflow: hidden; } HTML { overflow: hidden; } #LeftNavDIV { position:relative; width:185px; height:100%; float:left; padding:2px 0px 0px 0px; margin:0px 0px 0px 0px; border:1px solid white; overflow:auto; } #ContentDIV { position:relative; height:100%; width:75%; float:right; padding:0px 0px 0px 0px; margin:0px 0px 0px 0px; border:0px dashed #336699; overflow:auto; } I've defined three classes in this page but now I can't scroll down to the end of the page. the vertical scroll bars are missing. why is that? hello. i am having some trouble, my page has a scroll bar at the bottom but there is nothing there to scroll. It is only a centimeter or so but still aint good!! It is just background...yet i have not idea why, can anyone please help...
