HTML - Background Scrolling

Hey all. I have been working on this website that my friend had been designing, and was just wondering if this was possible.

The way it is now, the topmost div's are supposed to stay in their position at all times, and the only part that would scroll would be the main body.

The two body divs (left and right) have been placed inside the div that should be scrolling.

I know there is the css overflow, but the problem is, there is no fixed height on the div, so this method isn't quite right.

If anyone knows of a way where we could just start the scrolling at a certain point down the page, that would be great.

Here is a link to the page so far - don't worry, it won't look close to that when finished... Image/text placeholders are horrid, I know.

-Thanks in advance.

Im really not sure if the title of this thread is right.

Anyway, i dont know too much about HTML coding, but id like help with something on my .... MySpace haha

Alright, so this is my myspace at the moment.
www.myspace.com/cj_x3

As you can see, i have links on the sides, done by the following code example;
Quote:
<div style="width: 78px; height: 22px; position: absolute; bottom:5px;right:15px; background-color: transparent; border-width:0px;border-style:solid;border-color: transparent; font-family: verdana;">
<a href="LINK" style="color: dd4444; font-size: 9px; position: absolute; right: 0px; top: 0px">EXAMPLE LINK TEXT</a>
</div>
When you scroll down, the links on the sides scroll off the top. I dont like this...

What i want to happen, is for them to be fixed, like the background, so when you scroll down, the links around the sides dont move.

Thanks for the help in advance

my page (http://www.zerofivezero.net/the_project102.html) is scrolling as if there's content down the page, but there isn't...I can't figure it out.

I'm using the code below to hide the content and have it swapped when selecting an item from the nav.

Code:

.hidden {
	position:absolute; 
	z-index:2; 
	visibility:hidden;

Code:

<div id="section3_region" class="hidden"><div class="news"><fieldset>
        <legend><img src="images/forum_leg.jpg" width="120" height="28" border="0" alt=""/></legend>
        <br /><br />
        <div class="img"><img src="images/news_thumb1.jpg" width="80" height="75" border="1" alt=""/></div>
        This is the news section<br />
		Yep, this is where the news will be.  This will be the short blurb about the story.
	    <div class="img"><img src="images/news_thumb2.jpg" width="80" height="75" border="1" alt=""/></div>
		This is the news section<br />
		Yep, this is where the news will be.  This will be the short blurb about the story.
	    <div class="img"><img src="images/news_thumb3.jpg" width="80" height="75" border="1" alt=""/></div>
		This is the news section<br />
		Yep, this is where the news will be.  This will be the short blurb about the story.
        </fieldset></div>

So, I would like to make a one-line textfield that will automatically scroll when too much text is added.

So, for example, if I have a field that has room for 20 characters, and someone enters 10 characters, it looks as expected.

However, if someone enters 30 characters, only characters 10-30 would be visible.

Is this possible?

Hi, I'm making a website for my clan and I was hoping that someone here could help me with a problem. The test site is: http://deltagaming.org/matt/testweb/

As you can see the bottom seems to cut out with no scroll bars to help out. I tried adding an overflow command to the css styles sheet but no dice. I also added it to the template file too and still nothing. I couldn't post the main index here because its too big but my style sheet fit + you can view it through my website using a page source.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello! New to the HTML forums, nice to meet everybody ^^. I have a problem with my website, http://christopherortiz.webs.com/advertisingproject.htm , for some reason I have horrible scrolling lag on all of the pages, mainly on that one! Check out the source and tell me what I have done wrong o.o

What makes their advertising appealing enough to make you want to shove a cancer stick down your throat? Camel cigarette ads use rhetorical means to fool its demographic, you, into the habit of smoking.</p>
<p style="font-family:verdana;font-size:90%;color:green">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The central illusion which the advertisement aims to create is an image of a rugged man, which the customer in turn can become--provided that he buys a pack of Camel Lights. The first words that come to mind are cool, masculine, and rugged. The tattoo makes him appear to be a ruffian, a delinquent, a desperado. These are all rhetorical justifications that make one want to smoke Camel Lights, just once. But what really defines the ad is its sleek image, orange velour and the cancer sticks dancing around like they were in Vegas as if they were going to die tomorrow.</p>

<p style="font-family:verdana;font-size:90%;color:green">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Who on earth would want to buy these cunningly disguised serpents. We look at the man smoking cigarettes, his apparent countenance of ruggedness and individualistic style which we long to obtain, when in reality he is masquerading himself in a body of lies and deception. This is a form of ethos, which we, as viewers convinced to be truthful; reliable. But little do we know that its true nature hides behind a face of lies. We put our trust in the supposition that the advertisers are telling the truth; that camel lights will make us a little more like him. A brief glance at this advertisement might not make us question if what we're told is the truth. That's when Logos comes into the play. Looking at the advertisement, its reasoning seems logical: people who smoke, like the man in the advertisement, are cool; those who don't are not. What this carefully woven structure neglects to mention is that those cool kids are far more likely to contract cancer and other dangerous ailments.</p>
<p style="font-family:verdana;font-size:90%;color:green">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our society is built around these stereotypes of the rugged man and the classic Marilyn Monroe pose. The cigarette companies purposefully create these rhetorical devices, which appeal to us, the consumers. This not only makes you want to buy the product, it makes you buy into the delusion which cigarette companies have createdl</p>
<p style="font-family:verdana;font-size:90%;color:green">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In conclusion, not only do Camel Light advertisements use certain rhetorical devices, but influence they way society thinks and acts. In short, advertising perpetuates stereotypes. Camel Lights, just chooses to perpetuate the stereotype of the rugged man.</p>

Hi,

I have seen sites that has a series of images scrollng from right to left, any idea how to achieve this? Thanks.

A.C.

ima noob. To this forum and html as well so please be gentle. i brought lube...lol

I'm trying to change the color of the 'bar' between two frames. The frame on the left I have set to 'no scroll' and i want to change the color of it. I know how to change the color of scroll bars, arrows... but how do i change just the bar? I've been using JS to change the colors of the scroll bar. Is there another way? like css.

Hi,
I'm working on a movie database for a device that supports html. It only supports basic html though. For my index page I the characters A-Z (as well as genres) to select movies starting with that certain letter. The movie covers display in a row underneath. I want to find a way keep the characters A-Z centered in the top of the screen so when I browse further right (or left) of the screen it stays there similar to the way the background stays in place. At the moment when I browse left and right the A-Z moves with it (so it ends up moving off the screen). Does anyone know a way to keep it in place like the background. The files I'm editing are in .xsl format. They are used inconjunction with movie collectorz to make html pages. Anyhelp would be greatly appreciated.
Remeber it only supports basic html, no javascript.
Thanks.

Hi everyone,

http://www.eveningtweed.com/laura

At the above site, I've got a div called 'work' which needs to contain a long line of images which I want users to horizontally scroll through using the DIV scrollbar. I've looked through countless forum posts and solutions on Google but nothing works. Can anyone tell me why this won't scroll horizontally and how to achieve it?

Current CSS for the DIV:

Code:

.work {
	border:0px;
	height:350px;
	overflow-x:scroll;
	overflow-y:hidden;
	width:100%; 
}

Thanks in advance,
Jez.

Hello, I have a div tag that is scrolled vertically. I found some java code he https://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM...scrollIntoView that allows me to use a "Scroll to Top" button at the bottom of the DIV to help navigate it back to the top.

Problem is, that I want the page to remain in the same position, whereas this seems to be making my page scroll to the bottom at the same time as scrolling the div to the top.

Has anyone got any ideas on howto scroll a div to the top, without the page reloading, or scrolling?

Thanks
Jay

How would I get a scrolling news bar in my webpage? I am extremely new, so please post code.

Thanks

Hello everyone!
I am currently working on a project that requires the following object to auto-scroll at user defined speeds:


<td width='75%' valign='top'><object width='500' height= '1000' type='text/plain' data='bird.txt' border='0'>

The embedded object is always a text file but each one will be a different size. I need some kind of auto-scroll mechanism that will allow the user to scroll down the text box at a speed that suits the size of the text file itself.
Does anyone have any suggestions about how this could be achieved?
Thanks
