CSS - Floating Image To Not Froce Overflow/scroll Bars

When I place my flash file in a html document I don't want the scroll bars visible, unless the window is resized smaller than the dimensions of the flash movie.

I'm using this piece of code nicely to turn the scroll bars of the browser window off, but it dosn't turn them back on when needed.

<STYLE TYPE="text/css">
BODY {overflow:hidden;}
</STYLE>

This link,

http://www.one9ine.com/flash.html

works the way I'm trying to work out. No scrollbars visible untill, the browser window is rezised smaller that the flash movie content.

Cheers for the help.

I have a few questions, and hopefully this will set me for the rest of the day, so I don't have to bother you guys, at least untill tomorrow afternoon.

1. I have a question about scroll-bars, how are they implemented to be translucient?

2. How can I make <DIV>'s auto-stretch to whatever is in them?

3. How can I get it so that the text doesnt go to the very edge of the <DIV> so that it doesn't touch the border, (and look like crap)?

4. Is there any way to take an XML RSS feed and input it directly into any web page (just though I'd throw that one in there so I didn't have to start another thread).

Thanks,

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?

Hey everyone,

I am having a really hard time creating a layout using divs with a sticky footer that is able to resize correctly. In the past I often used tables for my layouts (i know, naughty me) so i was mainly relying on some tutorials to get as far as I have. In general everything looks good at a high enough resolution, however once things are resized the footer starts to act weird, and the page can end up with up to 3 vertical scroll bars. As well the divs start to overlap each other.

If anyone has any ideas as to something i can try it would be greatly appreciated.

the page is www.spacehindu.com/archive.php


and the css for the page is as follows:
Code:

* {
	margin: 0;
}
html, body {
	height: 100%;
	padding:0;
	background-color:#000;
	font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
	text-align: left;   
	font-size: 13px;
	padding: 0;           
	margin: 0; 
	letter-spacing: 0.5px;

	}

.wrapper{
	min-height: 100%;
	height: auto !important;
	height: 100%;
	width:100%;

and if it is any help, this is the tutorial i used as my base layout for the divs http://ryanfait.com/resources/footer-stick-to-bottom-of-page/


*EDIT* So i was able to fix the multiple scrollbars by removing "overflow:auto" from a few of the divs. My content div still seems to overlap the footer though. This is especially noticeable if you do a search for "a". a whole bunch of results will appear and the footer will get lost beneath is. Does anyone have any ideas as to how to easily fix this?

I am an art student, and I'm trying to construct my own portfolio site. I am, however, new to CSS, so I dont really know what I'm doing. I'm using Dreamweaver CS3.

I'm using a fixed 2 column template, with header and footer, and the left column as the side bar. Within the right column, I'm trying to make a scrollbar hovering near the top of the div, with clickable thumbnails of my work. Once the thumbnails are clicked on, a larger version of the image takes up the rest of the column.

Does anyone have any idea how to accomplsh this? Even my web design teacher's stumped with this one. I thought about using frames, but thats html...

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!

I 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?

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.

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....

Here is my HTML:
Code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML>
 <HEAD>
  <TITLE>Site Test</TITLE>
  <META NAME="Generator" CONTENT="EditPlus">
  <META NAME="Author" CONTENT="">
  <META NAME="Keywords" CONTENT="">
  <META NAME="Description" CONTENT="">
  <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="site_test.css" />
 </HEAD>

 <BODY>
<div id="wrapper">

<div id="frame_left">
</div><!--End frame_left-->

<div id="logo">
</div><!--End logo-->

<div id="content">
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.</p>

etc, etc, 

</div><!--End content-->

<div id="frame_right">
</div><!--End frame_right-->

</div><!-- End wrapper -->
  
 </BODY>
</HTML>

Here is the CSS:
Code:

#wrapper {
	margin: 0px;
	width: 100%;
	height: 100%;
	position: fixed;
	top: 0px;
	background-image: url(frame_middle.png);
	background-repeat: repeat-x;
	z-index: 10;
}

#frame_left {
	margin: 0px;
	background-color: transparent;
	background-image: url(frame_left2.png);
	background-repeat: no-repeat;
	width: 224px;
	height: 625px;
	position: fixed;
	left: 0px;
	top:0px;
	z-index:50;
}

#frame_right {
	margin: 0px;
	background-color: transparent;
	background-image: url(frame_right2.png);
	background-repeat: no-repeat;
	width: 198px;
	height: 625px;
	position: fixed;
	right: 0px;
	top: 0px;
	z-index: 25;
}

#logo {

	margin: 0px;
	background-color: transparent;
	background-image: url(pink_logo2.png);
	background-repeat: no-repeat;
	width: 316px;
	height: 125px;
	position: fixed;
	top: 0px;
	left: 34.5%;
	z-index: 75;
}

#content {

	background-color:transparent;
	position: fixed;
	top: 145px;
	bottom: 60px;
	left: 160px;
	right: 150px;
	width: auto;
	height: auto;
	overflow: auto;
}

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.

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.

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

Can someone please look at this page in IE7 -

http://www.pacunionsonoma.com/temp.asp?city=Santa-Rosa

You'll notice the mortgage agent listing clear the left navigation when they shouldn't; also notice the page horizontal scroll. I highlight all elements but don't see which one is causing that unwanted scroll. Thanks.

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
