overflow

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Aug 29.2003

I want to have a scrollable div, and the problem is when I set overflow:scroll; I get a h-scroll bar too and it doesnt wrap so the user will have a huge h-scroll bar. I was going to use overflow:auto; which will just make a v-scroll bar, but the problem is on IE it is not read the same way and it just treats auto like visible. Is there any code I can use to set overflow:scroll; but disable the h-scroll bar?

@DaveSWAug 30.2003 — I believe Pierre found the same problem.

I think you have to nest a 90% width div inside, and perhaps use overflow-x:hidden; or something like that. Perhaps Pierre will post his test site - I've lost the address. I believe it's somewhere in one of his posts somewhere.

I guess you found the discussion Dave referred to. If not: it is http://forums.webdeveloper.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=15229.

I just started a new thread, presenting some results and workarounds on the issue, and asking a new question. You can find it at css>overflow and borders / MSIE WinXP, or directly at
