CSS - Ie Issues - Overflow And Vertical Scroll Bar
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 Similar Tutorialswhen 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? I cannot figure this out. I've tried adding clear: both in several places, I've tried overflow: hidden and I've tried cursing. Nothing works! How can this be fixed so that in IE6 the divs are not staggered vertically?? Code: <div style="height: 38px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; width: 140px;"> <div style="float: left; height: 38px; width: 38px;"><img style="border: 1px solid #444444; vertical-align: middle" src="http://www.diversifieddesigns.com/GRAPHICS/Spacer.gif" alt="" width="38" height="38" border="0"></div> <div style="float: right; height: 38px; width: 102px;">copy</a><br>copy</a></div> </div> <div style="height: 38px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; width: 140px;"> <div style="float: left; height: 38px; width: 38px;"><img style="border: 1px solid #444444; vertical-align: middle" src="http://www.diversifieddesigns.com/GRAPHICS/Spacer.gif" alt="" width="38" height="19" border="0"></div> <div style="float: right; height: 38px; width: 102px;"><img style="border: 1px solid #444444; vertical-align: middle" src="http://www.diversifieddesigns.com/GRAPHICS/Spacer.gif" alt="" width="38" height="8" border="0"></div> </div> 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. 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 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 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 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. 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> 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? I'm trying to ensure the absence of the horizontal scroll bar within a div for all browsers. Is there a solution? overflow: -moz-scrollbars-vertical !important; only works in FF, but this is the effect I want. overflow-x and overflow-y only work in IE6 and below (right?), so does anyone know what to do for ie7 and safari and opera? Is it possible to hide a vertical scroll bar? I have a div that I just want to be able to horizontal scroll within a page. Is there a way to hide the vertical scroll??? Thanks! For some reason overflow hidden is not working in chrome, ff and ie both seem to work as expected. I am totally lost here? Code:

Hey guys, I built a site that uses a linked list as an multi-level menu. This menu works fine in Moz/Netscape, but I have to use IE behaviours (thus JavaScript) for it to work in IE. Because this is a list I've contained it in a div with overflow: auto. And set a new external css file using JavaScript to convert that list into the multi-level menu. The problem is the menu's horizontal submenus appears within the parent div, rather than overflowing above the parent. I was able to fix this problem using a z-index and overflow: visible in IE. However, in Gecko based browsers the menu's submenu's links aren't accessible over the site content also contained in an overflow: auto div. But, as said works fine in IE. Here is the site. To test this bizare functionality manipulate the #contentArea and #navArea properties in this css file. You will notice that there is a DHTML custom scrollbar if JS is enabled, this is because the only way I could get the submenu's to be accessible above the content in Gecko is to make the div overflow: hidden. Myself, and the developer of the orginal menu, have been working on this for weeks (well, more me) and haven't determined how to make the menu accessible while mantaining overflow: auto on the #contentArea div. Just today we had some limited success changing the #navArea position to fixed rather than absolute in Gecko. After some repositioning the menu was fully accessible at medium/100% text size. But, once the site was resized using font sizes (it uses a relative font size 'em' for an elastic layout) the fixed div wouldn't stay in position. I'm hoping that someone here is able to tell me how to set overflow: visible to overflow above an overflow:auto div in NS/Moz (I'm using FF0.8) and still work in IE? I'd greatly appreciate it because I want to replace the custom scrollbar with default scrollbars for accessibility. Thanx. Hi - I'm working on a page with what I think should be a relatively simple CSS layout. Basically, I have a table on the top half of the page (it displays an address book). The table has a <thead> and <tbody>, and the <tbody> is set to overflow: auto, to give me a scrollbar when its contents gets too big. The bottom half of the page uses AJAX to fetch an entry from the address book, and display more details. It too uses overflow: auto to show scroll bars when necessary. Each element is in a <div>, and I used height: 45% (or so) on each to try to make the whole thing fit on one page, so that there is no whole-page vertical scrolling. An example of the code I'm working with can be found at http://kc9ddi.us/ex.html . My design is working nicely in Firefox, but not IE. IE does not seem to do the right thing with the height: attribute in CSS, so their is no scroll bars in the individual parts of the page, like I want. Can anyone offer any advice here? So here's the page I'm working on: http://johannkwan.com/about.html The HTML side is simple: Code: <div id="horizon"> <div id="wrapper"> <div id="about_content">About</div> <a href="http://www.johannkwan.com" id="back">Back</a> </div> </div> The CSS side is just a horizon bar with the wrapper in the middle, the top margin offset to half the wrapper so it'll center properly. Code: #horizon {
position: absolute;
top: 50%;
left: 0px;
width: 100%;
margin-top: -300px;
text-align: center;
min-width: 800px;
}
#wrapper {
position: relative;
text-align: left;
width: 800px;
height: 600px;
margin: 0px auto;
}
Here's my problem. If you're looking at the page on anything under 800x600 (or if you resize your browser to under 600) the top bit cuts off. You can't scroll up past part-way up the image. But it's not 300px of cut off... it's some sort of distance I haven't defined, so I'm not entirely sure where I'm going wrong. Is there a better way to vertically center my content? Or is there just something wrong in my stylesheet I'm not seeing? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! i am trying to vertical align the "go" button next to the text field. i've also tried to use margin's on the go button.. but it just messes up... anyhow, here is a link... http://defunctgames.com/helpfix/page2.htm thanks |
