HTML - How To Make Content Section Scrollable Or...
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Similar TutorialsDespite reading multiple posts on "scrollable" table cells on the forums, I've not yet quite found the answer to my question, so hopefully I can get some feedback from all viewers out there! I and some friends run a small Catholic arts and crafts website (www.illuminatedink.com) through which we sell products that we create. I've based the page layout on a table instead of frames or iframes. The table has 3 cells in it. The entire top "banner area" of the screen is one cell. Below that on the left we have the naviagation menu cell. The main content that someone is trying to view appears in the remaining lower right cell (also the largest). This page works great on all the computers at my house (3 of them) and on most other computers as well. I have yet to test this in IE 7.0, but if someone else has that browser, please let me know what happens. So, what's the problem you ask? That lower right table cell where all the content appears does not work for everyone. I just got another complaint today that no scroll bar appears and the person can only see what's in the top of cell, there is no "scrollability". Here is a sample (with notes made by me in ** NOTE ** format). The notes are of course not in the actual code, I am showing only the code really matters here. Code: <BODY STYLE="margin-top: 0px; margin-left: 0px">
<TABLE CELLPADDING=0 CELLSPACING=0 HEIGHT=590 WIDTH=1000>
<TR HEIGHT=90>
<TD WIDTH=1000 COLSPAN=2 STYLE="background-image:url('http://www.illuminatedink.com/images/background/banner.jpg')">
 
</TD>
</TR>
<TR HEIGHT=500>
<TD VALIGN=top WIDTH=200 STYLE="background-image:url('http://www.illuminatedink.com/images/background/menu_bar.jpg');background-repeat:no-repeat">
<TABLE ALIGN="center" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0>
**Navigation menu on the left side goes here**
</TABLE>
</TD>
<TD WIDTH=800 VALIGN="top">
<DIV STYLE="overflow:auto;height:490px;width:800px;position:absolute;left:200;padding-right:30px; padding-left:0px"><MAP NAME="page_links">
**All code for the scrollable cell in the lower right goes here**
</DIV>
</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
</BODY>
So, can anyone possibly tell me why this would have a scroll bar in some browers and not in others? Or does anyone have any code changes I could make that may guarantee that they will get a scroll bar in that lower right cell? The complaints that I have received mainly seem to be from Mac users using IE for Mac. But I just had someone who had a brand new Dell with Windows XP Prof. and the most recent IE 6, which is exactly the configuration I run, but didn't get a scroll bar when I did. Ideas? Thank you! I am in the process of building a site and want to include a News section. However do most website do this manually or use sites like joomla, drupal, and such to do this? I would like something similar to HighTimes.com content articles with tags that connect everything together. Can someone please tell me how this is done? Thank you. I am working on making a website, and learning as I go. I have been trying to figure out how I would make links and images appear in the same section of many different pages using code. Is this possible in HTML/CSS, which are the only languages I have any experience in. If you need anymore information, let me know and I'll add more details. Hello, I'm helping a friend redesign a film website. Is there a way of making an area of content (such as a set of links in a menu bar) updatable so that if it is updated it will change across all the specified pages on the site? I am vaguely aware of templates in Dreamweaver CS3 and I think this would provide the solution, but my friend uses Frontpage and will be editing and creating content in that. Is there a way of using CSS to update areas of content? I know how to use CSS to update values like fontcolour and background images, but not areas of actual HTML content. Thanks for any help you provide. hi everyone this is my first page so i will probably have a couple of questions to help give me an idea of how to do that i want! basically someone has asked me to design them a site, i did a web design course but that was 6 months ago and i need to learn new things for it as well as try and remember what ive learned! ive got a semi basic layout, ill post the html and css, hopefully ill pate them in the right way (this definitely wont be the colour scheme, ive been following an online tutorial, want to get the layout right before making other tweaks) basically in the content section theyre looking for a rectangular box that has 4 imaes, 2 side by side and two below. these will change when theyre rolled over and when a particular image is clicked it will take them to the correct section of the site. as far as i understand from the css i have the size of the content section will change depending on how much information is there. how would i know what size to make the flash for insertion into this section so it fits properly without any gaps? sorry im a bit new to this but the more i learn the better! i dont have a clue how to actually code the flash yet but getting the size right would be a good start! thanks for your help HTML Code: <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/master.css" />

Hello everyone, New to this forum, hoping I can get some help. I am somewhat new to HTML, so I'm running into roadblocks every once in a while, most of which I've gotten through myself. I have a problem with an iFrame I want to use. I need to find a way to have an iFrame jump to a section of a page that I want to display. I am building a website for a hockey team. The URL is http://web.mac.com/chris.ducasse/for...a/gameday.html you will see an iFrame that embeds a page from "pointstreak.com" I want the iFrame to automatically jump down to the "scoreboard" section. Is this possible? If not, is there a way to get rid of the scroll bars for ALL browsers? I want to thank everyone in advance for their help, glad to be a part of this forum, looking forward to learning a lot! Hi, I have a very basic question. In the past, every time I've made updates to the website, I have to refresh my browser to get the new content. How long does it typically take for browsers to check for new content? Is there a way to put something in the html header so that browsers will do this automatically? I suppose not, but just asking. Thanks, Linda. I'm having trouble making IE display the content the same in other browsers the same. Like google chrome and firefox. Do I have to use css for this. Here is my website address: http://www.con10th.com Hey everyone I am new, I just was wondering if anyone can help explain/link me to a tutorial that shows me how to make a template that grows when you enter content into the tables without it coming out of place? I have always used iframes for my content before and this is my first try at not using them. When I enter content more than 1 table starts growing and it distorts all my images. My site is http://computercelebs.110mb.com/home.html If you click on the references page it will show an example of what happens. I am making this website as part of my college coursework. I have ~6 weeks to finish this website so plenty of time. Thanks in advance. Hi, My client needs an html website. It has to be easy to edit the text later on his own when the site is done. How would you suggest I build it? (I am familiar with dreamweaver for html) It will also have some flash content. (flash content need not to be editable, only stable so it doesn't change position from page to page. menu will be in flash) Is joomla any good for my client? how should I do it? Thanks a lot for your advice, js. Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone could help me? I wish to produce a website which works in the following way: The header and footer remain the same, and do not reload on page refresh. Then, links on a menu bar stimulate loading a new page, however only the content below the header changes. An example of this, is the CushyCMS website (http://www.cushycms.com). When you click the menu links, the header doesn't reload, only the page content does. How would I do this? My reason for wanting this method, is because I wish to have an image slider present within the header of all of my pages, and I don't wish to have to update every page each time I wish to add an image. Please help? Many thanks, Luke HI: I have a very long table (with 5 columns). I wish to have this table (vertical size="350px") to have a scroll bar on the right-side, so that the user can scroll down thru the table, but yet still see the 'div' below it on the viewport. Suggestions please on a 'scrollable' table. Thanks, -Mel Smith Hi Guys How do I make scrollable divs ? Like the ones in hotmail contacts when writing a new email. I'm not sure where this should be listed so I'm starting here - Here's the website I'm working on - www.drscopesnaturalhealthcare.com - I'd like to add a textbox under the image below the "news" lable that has a scroll bar on it so it can have quite a bit of content in it but remain a constant size. I know I could do this with frames, but I don't want to use frames. I think I can do this with CSS, but I'm not sure how. Is there an easier way or can some one point me to the element to use in CSS? Thanks. cybergrrl I have a Table and I need to have it in some kind of scrollable panel. Is there such a scrollable component? Thanks... Hi all, I'm quite new to webpage development in HTML & using Dreamweaver 8.0. I am trying to put a small scrollable window within the main webpage, so that the text inside this scrollable window can be scrolled vertically without having to scroll the main window up & down. The webpage I'm building is an FAQs. An example of what I mean can be found on the following webpage : http://www.xe.com/ucc/ where the user can scroll vertically to see more currency options. Please refer to my two screen captures where I've shown the code I used & the screen capture from the browser window. I only want the scrollable window to scroll vertical. Much thanks in advance for your expert help. Andrew Not sure if this is possible or not, but I created a scroll box, which contains a title and then text underneath it. Is there a way to limit the scrollable area, so the title is always fixed at the top of the scroll box and the text scrolls up and disappears just below the title? If its not possible in HTML/CSS, then how else can I do this? Thanks for your help in advance. Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum so please correct me if I'm doing anything wrong or if this post is in the wrong section. I have a custom template for my website which allows you to scroll down and view my photographs. I would like to keep it this way BUT I would like to implement Google Ads on either sides of my centered content. I want these ads to be stationary even if a viewer is scrolling to the bottom of my site. Is this possible, and even then, is it hard to do? I really appreciate your help. Here is the link to my website if that helps. http://floatingcity.tumblr.com Cheers, Kyle Hi, I have a div element, that will contain various debug/warning messages from Javascript. If I set it's height to 100%, so to fill the parent element, it overlaps the parent element. How can I automatically set the height, without manually setting the height in pixels? Many thanks for any suggestions. Regards Aaron HTML Code: <div style="border-style: solid; border-width: 3px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; z-index: 1000; position: fixed; top: 252px; left: 582px; width: 494px; height: 202px; background-color: white; display: block;"> <h1 style="width: 100%; height: 20px; font-size: 12px; display: block; border-bottom-width: 2px; border-bottom-style: solid; vertical-align: middle;"><img src="https://127.0.0.1/beer2/i/clear.png" style="cursor: pointer;" alt="clear"/><img src="https://127.0.0.1/beer2/i/min.png" style="cursor: pointer;" alt="Minimise"/> Debug Window</h1> <div style="overflow: scroll; width: 100%; height: 100%; font-size: 12px; position: static;"> <p>test</p> <p>test</p> <p>test</p> <p>test</p> <p>test</p> <p>test</p> <p>test</p> <p>test</p> <p>test</p> </div> </div> How i create a frame type space( which is scrollable ) similar to seperate window inside a webpage ? |
