Topic: Scrolling layers sizing issues.. please help (Page 1 of 1)

hi there, I am using Dreamweaver MX 2004 and have created a layout which contains a layer which I have set to scroll using the "overflow=auto" command and I was wondering if anyone knew the commands or code to make the area ONLY scroll up and down and not side to side as that is just a burden to people who visit the site...

my current coding is :

<div id="Layer1" style="position:absolute; width:409px; height:342px; z-index:0; left: 477px; top: 146px; overflow: auto;">
<div align="left"> </div>
<p align="left">&nbsp;</p>
</div>

Can anyone help me ?
Post here or please email me at aarondk@vfemail.net

I appreciate you taking the time to read a stupid post from a pretty stupid n00b lol

Well you could try Min-width and Max-width both set to the same value. Either the page will turn to crap or the element will held open at Min-width and it will not scale beyond the Max-width. Essentially it will thus stay the same. But the content may be clipped beyond the border of the element. Just experiment and let us know what happens

Any idea what the code would look like. I am a n00b to alot of the coding aspects of site creation (well, the more advanced coding anyways) and would love to know more.....

Also, is there an easier way of putting a scrollable (not self scrolling) area in the middle of a picture ? Maybe a bg image and a table with a scrolling section....hmmm not sure about that though.

Anyways, here is a link to the image I am wanting to use with a layer of text above (in front) of it...

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH !!!!!!!! I have both MIE (ick) and Mozilla Firefox and notice that, while the DIV layer looks great on my MIE browser window, it is off on the Firefox window... any suggestings or code snippets I can use to defeat this ?

God Help Me !!!!!!

same thing I posted in another thread, you'll probably have to change your CSS so that the box is in the correct position in Firefox and hack the CSS so it fits in IE using a concept or two from here: http://www.washington.edu/webinfo/snippets/css/boxmodel.html

Also, your original question: you want to set the div so it only scrolls up and down, not left and right? Then change your overflow property from overflow: auto to overflow-y: auto.
