CSS - Div Scroll Help

I know almost nothing about css, but i was using other codes to try and make something i wanted... .. Yea, well it didn't work out. heh.

I want to have a scroll box within an image. Like in video games where when you read something a scroll pops up, and you can scroll the text but the image doesnt move or anything.


This was the code i was trying to change.. It is for myspace, it puts all of the comments in a scroll box. But i dont need to it for that, i want to put regualr text in it.
Code:

<style type="text/css"> 
td.text td.text table td, td.text td.text table {height:0;padding:0;border:0;} 
td.text td.text table {background-color:transparent!important} 
td.text td.text table td {font-size:13} 
td.text td.text table table br {display:inline;} 
td.text td.text table b, td.text td.text table table td {font-size:8pt} 
td.text td.text table table td {padding:2;} 
td.text td.text {height:0} 
td.text td.text table table table, td.text td.text table br, .rid br, td.text 
td.text table .orangetext15, td.text td.text .redlink, td.text td.text  span.btext {display:none;} 
</style> 

</td></tr></table></td></tr></table><br> 




<table class="rid"> 
<tr><td><table style="display:none"> 
<tr><td><table><tr><td> 

<style type="text/css"> 
td.text td.text table table table, 
td.text td.text table br, 
td.text td.text table .orangetext15, 
td.text td.text .redlink, .rid br, 
td.text td.text span.btext {display:none;} 
table[id*="Friends"] {display:none;} 
td.text td.text table td, td.text td.text table {height:0; padding:0; border:0;} 
td.text td.text table {background-color:transparent!important;} 
td.text td.text table td {font-size:10;} 
td.text td.text {height:0;} 
.r4wr table table table {width:auto!important} 
td.text td.text table b, td.text td.text table table td {font-size:10pt;} 
l{note: comment padding fix;} 
td.text td.text table table td {padding:3px;} 
td.text td.text table table br {display:inline;} 
l{note: scrollable comments;} 
.rid {display:block; width:433px; height:462px; overflow:auto;} 
</style> 
</td></tr></table></td></tr></table> 
</div><br> 
<div class="rid"> 
<table style="display:none"><tr><td><table><tr><td>

The image i want to place it in is 380 by 466 pixels..

Er... any broken rules i apologize for.. Uhm, thanks..


-woe

can some one help me create a css scroll bar using the colors from my site http://jaygreentreejr.info/main

here is the css for the main area(links)

PHP Code:
 td { font-family: verdana; font-size: 11px; }
A:link, A:visited, A:active { COLOR: #000000; }
A:hover { COLOR: #73C42C; } 
A:link {text-decoration: none;}
A:hover {text-decoration: underline;}
A:active {text-decoration: underline;}
A:visited {text-decoration: none;}
A:visited:hover {text-decoration: underline;}
A:visited:active {text-decoration: underline;} 

If you look at this web site
http://www.mobilvox.com/

you can see when the screen is smaller than what they designed for the scrollbars come into the window and it scrolls.

I've been using the code below, and I can't seem to get the same behavoir.

Code:

 <style type="text/css">
  /*<![CDATA[*/



  html, body {
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
	background-color:#000033;
	
    }
    
  body {
    font: 100%/1.25 verdana, arial, sans-serif;
    color: black;
    background-color: #eef;
	overflow: auto;
    }
    
  p {
    font-size: 1em;
    margin-bottom: 0;
    }
    
  p + p {
    text-indent: 1em;
    margin-top: 0;
    }
       
#header {
    color: #000000;
    background-color: #fff;
    overflow: auto; /*encloses float children
                      see http://garyblue.port5.com/webdev/floatdemo.html
                      */
    text-align: center;
    }

#header ul {
    list-style: none;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    }
    
#headermenu1 {
    float: left;
    text-align: right;
    margin-left: 2px;
    display: inline;  /*this is a fix for IE's doubled
                        float margin bug*/
    }
    
#headermenu2 {
    float: right;
    text-align: left;
    margin-right: 100px;
    display: inline; /*same as above*/
    }

#global {
	margin:0 auto;
	width:500px;
	text-align: left;
}

can someone point out the problem.

Hi all,
im having a css scrollbar within a table and on refresh of that page,i want 2 position the scroll,at the end of the table.
By default the scroll is always at the top.
But how do i refer to the scroll position,to bring it to the end of the table?

hi, i am trying to paint the scrollbar with the following
BODY {
scrollbar-face-color: #4E5455;
scrollbar-highlight-color: #FFFFFF;
scrollbar-shadow-color: #999999;
scrollbar-3dlight-color: #999999;
scrollbar-arrow-color: #993300;
scrollbar-track-color: #EFEFEF;
scrollbar-darkshadow-color: #98AAB1;
margin:0;
padding:0;
color:#333333;
font: 12px arial, verdana, helvetica, sans-serif;
}

but it doesn't do anything. it's still the default ie scroll bar. does anyone know why?

I am at my wits end! Some of my nested divs cause FF throw up scroll bars...and not all the time. If I hit refresh, they disappear.

Everything validates: Both my css and xhtml. I have tried every allowed value for overflow to no avail. There are no floated images either to vlear; just text. Give it a look in FF and see:

My Site

My css

how can i colour the scroll bars on my page - i.e. the ones when you have to scroll up and down the page, but also, the ones used within form elements such as drop down lists. I have tried using css, but to no avail.

My page consists of two frames - one on the left and one on the right.

Thankyou.

The title is kind of hard to understand. Basically my website is perfectly in line when you have a scroll bar on the side of the screen, but when you don't things come out of line and you can notice breaks in the background.

I'm not really sure whats causing this, any help would be appreciated.

Here is a link to the test site: Link

Hi all,

Is it possible to automatically scroll the scrollbar to the bottom in the css.

This is how you do it in html:

var objDiv = document.getElementById("leftHand");

objDiv.scrollTop = objDiv.scrollHeight;

Regards,

Stephen

How do I create div that shows vertical scroll bar if div id="content_area" is too big?
Code:

<div style="padding:10px; height: 100px">
	<div id="content_area">		
	some text here
	</div>
	<div class="clear"></div>
</div>

Thanks for taking the time to read my question.

I FF v.2 and IE v.7

In FF I don't get a horizontal scroll bar, which is what I want, but in IE I do. I can't figure out why. The horizontal scroll bar happens here [id="ListOfItemTitles"].

Hi guys,

I came across this scroll area on someone's webstie:

www . nabil . com/film (no spaces)

Does anyone know how to achieve this horizontal scroll area, or anything similar?
thanks.

i have a layout that I am trying to get to work that I need some help with. I am getting records from a database and then displaying them side by side such as:

header record1 record2 record3 record4
column1 column1 column1 column1 column1
column2 column2 column2 column2 column2
column3 column3 column3 column3 column3
column4 column4 column4 column4 column4

what I want is for the page to have to scroll to the right when lots of records are present, what happens now is that say record4 starts a new line and will be under the rest of the records not are their side. I can get it if I set the div container's width to something like 10000px but that wont work as sometimes they may be longer or shorter and I dont want a lot of white space to the right side. I want this accomplised dynamically so no matter how wide it is, it will show them all. I tried overflow: scroll but that didn't seem to work.

Here is the code, its in php but its not big or too hard to figure out.

PHP Code:
echo '<div id="tableheader">';
for ($i=0; $i<count($info); $i++) {
    echo '<p>'.$info[$i][name].'</p>';
}
echo '</div>';

for ($i=0; $i<count($data); $i++) {
    if (!($i & 1)) {
        echo '<div class="even">';
    } else {
        echo '<div class="odd">';
    }
    for ($j=0; $j<count($data[$i]); $j++) {
        if ($j == 0) {
            echo '<p><a href="homedata.php?record='.$data[$i][$j].'">'.$data[$i][$j].'</a></p>';
        } else {
            echo '<p>&nbsp;'.$data[$i][$j].'&nbsp;</p>';    
        }
    }
    echo '</div>';
}
echo '</div>';
?>
</div> 





and my css is:
Code:

#tableData {padding: 0; margin: 0; border: 0; width: 10000px;}
  
#tableheader {background-color: #ACACAC;position: relative; float: left;}
.odd {background-color:#C0D8E1; position: relative; float: left;} 
.even {position: relative; float: left;}

#tableData p {padding: 0 3px; margin: 0; border-right: 1px solid black;  border-bottom: 1px solid black;display: block;}

Any ideas?

Thanks

I would like to have the content section of my page have only a vertical scroll bar, an no horizontal one. How can I make content wrap if it goes over horizontaly, but scroll if it goes out of bounds verticaly?
