what's the best way to solve the problem of NN not supporting overflow:auto? I have a page exactly how I want it... in IE, but NN doesn't support the overflow. I have a main copy area that scrolls (looks almost like an iframe would- and of course NN doesn't do that either! ) within a table. for scrolling, it has a height specific background so letting it just flow down the page isn't really what I want. I'd like a "proper" solution in javascript or something (anything!!!). having different styles for nn and ie isn't a problem... already have a bit of php I wrote for an earlier site to handle that... |

The only real practical solution is to let it flow down the page. In my opinion, since netscape 4 users are a minority, as long as they have access to the content, and it doesn't look *horrible*, then it's ok. |

yeh, that's what I've done before... I guess it could be done, but for my purposes it'd be a waste of time... as long as they can read it i guess.. |

Lurch: It works for IE and NS6 but not Op6 or NS4.x but with a little care it won't break too badly in those browsers. A cross-browsr solution would be to use the zscrollbars from the Doc's www.znippets.com but with NS6 and IE you have the vast majority of browsers covered. |
