Working on site, need help with scroll bars.

Hello...

Working on http://www.prototypeonline.com/protophp

Would like to ask you seasoned pros about the ability to do the following:

Have a minimum set main content height, but if exceeded, show scroll bars WITHIN the main content table.

I've searched on different possibilities, but the closes I came was a CSS mod that stretched the center section as the window http://www.phpwcms.de/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6729 . I was also thinking about IFRAMES, but can't even begin to wonder how to make that work within the tools provided by phpwcms.

Any thoughts on this application would be greatly appreciated!

you can easily use a div-tag/css-combo. have a look at the code:

Code: Select all

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>

<style>
.test{
	width: 150px;
	height: 200px;
	margin: 50px;
	border: 1px solid #000000;
	overflow: scroll;
}
</style>

</head>
<body>
<div class="test">
	aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa 
	aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa 
	aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa 
	aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa
</div>
</body>
</html>

it's quite self-explaining, is'nt it? works with ie and ff.

Gotcha, looks good. I changed the overflow to auto and it's good.

Thank you!
