My problem is that my "row" div's overlay if their content is larger. Because of that i cannot see the send button from my form (the textarea height is bigger that the height of the "row" div - i need the layer to expland according to the content, but i don't want it to overlay on what is after it!). I hope that you understood my problem and could help my with it. Thanks in advance! Similar TutorialsMy 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; } My page looks decent in Firefox but in IE the overflow property doesn't seem to be working. Perhaps you can give me some pointers as to which tags may be messing up the display in Internet Explorer.

In my code: body, td, iframe, table, div, tr { font-variant: small-caps; margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; color: #ffffff; background-color: #666666; scrollbar-3dlight-color: #666666; scrollbar-arrow-color: #666666; scrollbar-base-color: #666666; scrollbar-darkshadow-color: #666666; scrollbar-face-color: #666666; scrollbar-highlight-color: #666666; scrollbar-shadow-color: #666666; } a:link { color: #ffffff; text-decoration: none; } a:visited { text-decoration: none; color: #ffffff; } a:hover { text-decoration: none; color: #ff0000; } a:active { text-decoration: none; color: #ffffff; } select, option, textarea, input { border: #ffffff 1px solid; font-size: 11px; font-variation: normal; font-family: Verdana; background-color: #666666; } I would add "overflow: auto;" right under 'body, td, iframe, table, div, tr {' so that in Mozilla the scrollbars would not show up. However, when I load it in IE, the windows do not scroll at all. Is there a quick-fix for this, or what can I do so it will work properly in both browsers? what i'm trying to accomplish is two boxes next to each other inside a div, which i can scroll horizontally to see the two boxes. if you copy the code below it works correctly, only because the width of the parent div is set. Code:
<style type="text/css">
#container {
overflow:scroll;
width:100px;
}
#parent {
overflow:hidden;
width:400px;
}
.box1 {
border:1px solid black;
float: left;
height: 101px;
width: 101px;
}
</style>
<div id='container'>
<div id='parent'>
<div class='box1'></div>
<div class='box1'></div>
</div>
</div>
if i change width:900px in the parent div to width:auto then the boxes go underneath one another. That's the problem, the parent div should auto adjust to the width of both boxes. i'd really appreciate solving this. i can't have a fixed width on the parent div it should auto adjust and both boxes should be next to each other. hi, I have 3 DIV's, The first div is like a menu header DIV and the second DIV is the menu links and the third DIV has some information I want to click on the first DIV then show the second DIV like a menu problem is the third DIV moves down.. How can i let the second DIV overflow over the third DIV without it moving down? Thanks How do I make the DIV overflow in the below codes? It works in IE but not firefox. <html > <head> <style type="text/css"> html, body { height : 100%; } </style> </head> <body> <table style="height : 100%; width : 100%"> <tr style="height : 64px; background-color : Blue;"> <td></td> </tr> <tr style="height : auto; background-color : red;"> <td> <!-- THIS IS THE PROBLEM --> <div style="height :auto; overflow-y : scroll"> <!-- THIS IS THE PROBLEM --> asd<br /> asd<br /> asd<br /> asd<br /> asd<br /> asd<br /> asd<br /> asd<br /> asd<br /> asd<br /> asd<br /> asd<br /> asd<br /> asd<br /> asd<br /> asd<br /> asd<br /> asd<br /> asd<br /> asd<br /> asd<br /> asd<br /> asd<br /> asd<br /> asd<br /> asd<br /> asd<br /> asd<br /> asd<br /> asd<br /> </div> </td> </tr> <tr style="height : 64px; background-color : Blue;"> <td></td> </tr> </table> </body> </html> Hi all, I'm working on the site http://boolarongpress.com.au and have hit a problem. In IE7 if you click into either the title or author search fields in the left hand nav menu the cpu usage maxes out and IE7 hangs. There is no javascript attached to these inputs. The problem seems to be caused by a line in the css, overflow: auto; This is set for the content div so that it scrolls as if it were a frame. If I remove this line from the css the problem dissappears but of course the content div no longer scrolls. Has anyone got any ideas on how I can fix/work around this issue? Cheers, Peter #navList { background-color: #FF0000; height: 10px; overflow: none; width: 600px; float: left; line-height: 0px; } #navList li { float: left; cursor: pointer; overflow: none; } in every other browser the next div after the list touches navList, which contains images that are 42px high. in ie6, there are an extra 2 pixels. at first I put height: 42px; overflow: none, to see what would happen - and nothing did. i set it to 10 for kicks to see if the overflow would do anything at all and it's not. very confused today. Hi If you take a lookk at this http://www.premier-resin-systems.co.uk/home/ in IE5 you will see 2 orange lines, these should have text and titles in them. Viw them in IE6, FF etc you will see what it is meant to look like. Why is this, is it the overflow:auto; I have stuck on the productbox class? Also the voucher image in IE6 should be a few pixels under the orange bar. Could somone shed some light on this as it is driving me nuts!!! Thanks for any help I have an overflow div that displays a scrollbar on the right which is ok because I have lots of content that overflows in the vertical direction. The div also displays a dimmed scrolbar at the bottom because there is no overflow in the horizontal direction. Is there a way to not display the dimmed bar? I would only like to show a vertical scrollbar. Here's the current code: PHP Code: <div style=' font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color:#FFFFFF; height: 120px; width:200px; overflow:scroll; border: 1px solid #AAA; scrollbar-base-color: #AAA; scrollbar-arrow-color: #000; scrollbar-DarkShadow-Color: #3366CC; '> Thanks for you help I am having trouble with the overflow: hidden; in IE6. I have a simple example. I have rewritten this to make it as simple as possible. [code] <html> <head> </head> <body> <div style="position:absolute; top: 100px; width:200px; z-index:1; bottom: 113px; overflow:hidden"> <img src="images/700/900-pixel-height-image.jpg"> </div> </body> </html> This simple page works fine in Firefox but in IE6 the overflow:hidden does not work. Why? I thought IE6 completely supported overflow. How do I create a div with a horizontal overflow? I have a div box which is 150px high and 200px wide. I need it to fill up the height and then overflow to the right so I can scroll it horizontally. The div box contains thumbnail images. i always seem to have problems keeping inner elements within the confines of the div box. i always use overflow: auto, but i am wondering if i am going about this the wrong away. another annoying thing is using overflow: auto tends to make the div tab-able. Code:
<div class="info_box">
<img src="images/temp_tiger.png" class="imgalignleft" alt="Petition Title" />
<h5>Petition Title</h5>
</div>
...
.info_box {
clear: both;
overflow: auto;
border: 1px solid #999;
background-color: #fff;
margin-bottom: 8px;
padding: 10px;
font-size: 11px;
}
.info_box h5 {
color: #06c;
font-size: 14px;
}
This is most likely a well documented problem, but I can't seem to find information on it. The site I'm building looks very nice in Firefox, but in IE6 my thumbnail gallery flows outside its container and overlaps everything and there is a scrool bar, but it does nothing. For pages with text inside the scroll, instead of the thumbs, it works fine. See it for yourself: http://brucethorn.com/php/index.php/paintings << bad http://brucethorn.com/php/index.php/resume << good Also, some odd but subtel things happen in Opera and the thumbsnails don't float right/borders cut off on one side/gaps etc, but it is not devistating. The filmunits(thumbs) are inside "scroll" which is inside "content." The relevant(I hope) CSS is below: div.scroll {height:344px; width:800px; margin:8px 0px 8px 0px; overflow:auto;} div.content {height:392px; width:800px; margin:auto; text-align:center;} #filmunit {height:128px; width:128px; border:4px solid black; margin:8px; float:left; position:relative; overflow:hidden;} #filmunit[id] {display:table; position:static;} #filmsub {position:absolute; top:50%;} #filmsub[id] {display:table-cell; vertical-align:middle; text-align:center; position:static;} #filmimage {position:relative; top:-50%;} #filmimage[id] {position:static; top:-50%;} Thank you! Hi everyone, I am having a problem with the 'overflow' property in Internet Explorer6. I am working on an image slide show.The images are displayed in two divs whose CSS is as follows: #imageBox { margin: auto; width: 450px; border: 1px #000 solid; overflow: hidden; height:90px; z-index:500;} #imageBoxInside { width: 10000px; height:90px;float:left;overflow:hidden; z-index:200; } #imageBox img { float: left; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; } #imageBox br { clear: both; } In mozilla firefox it is working perfectly. But in IE6 the 'overflow' property doesn't work . Please help. Hello, I have a basic test page with 3 boxes ( http://www.pages4u.net/css/overflow.html ). Firefox renders my page as I want but IE makes it very different way. How can I correct the IE version? Thanks in advance! |
