asked on

CSS Scroll:auto;

can someone point me in the right direction here.  http://dnd.07th.com/portfolio/

it seems that the scroll:atuo; on the .text class does not seem to work.  if you click on one of the headings you will see what I mean

Not sure what you are expecting the text to do....

Also, your "Menu" doesn't function properly in Opera... :)
I see a #container .text { ... } with no overflow specification and #container { ...; overflow: auto; ... }

and also I don't see a problem, it seems to scroll fine for me
ah right, just checked with IE (was using FF).

moral: never expect anything to work right with IE

yeah, just tried adding the overflow:auto; to .text, and still does not produce
have you tried forcing it with overflow-y: visible?

@joebednarz

i think that is because of the z-index.....but honestly.  since only about 2+% of people use opera, i'm not that concerned about that, and will probably get around to fixing it at some other point in time

>>have you tried forcing it with overflow-y: visible?<<

I wasn't aware that even existed in CSS 2, in fact neither does W3C...hmm...

and no, nothing is different when I put it in

that seems to have done the trick TName.  However, now I lose my formatted scroll bar.....
IE doesn't allow for coloured scrollbars, and I don't think I've ever seen a hack for it.
also tried it in FF and it seemed to work better.... understand how target effects effort though.  Nice look to the site by the way.  I think Synthetics comments are right on track...
wait a moment, wrong way around. normally IE DOES allow coloured scrollbars and FF doesn't. have to look at code again...

i have a bit of javascript that allowed me to change the scrollbar that was cross-browser friendly, and did work.

if I take out the height of that class it goes back to working, but then the portfolio fails again.

thanks joe :)

have a look at:
http://dnd.07th.com/contact/

you should see a lighter grey bar on the left side with an arrow image at the top and bottom

that is what the javascript does, but as you can see on the portfolio page, it goes back to no-scroll when the headings are expanded.

if you can come up with a solution great, if not, I will just have to make do with setting the height
