Just been involved with a web site where clicking a button on the main
page opened a second (or secondary) window intended to function like a
dialog box in Apple GUI jargon. (The primary page was a private
nonprofit organization's home page and the secondary window was actually
an election ballot.)
The secondary window opened smaller than the primary page, both
vertically and horizontally, with a vertical scroll bar which had the
usual slider, an up arrow at the top of the bar, but -- unusual, in my
experience -- no down arrow at the bottom (though the slider could be
dragged down, or clicked down by clicking below it in the scroll bar
itself).
Other pages on the same site and linked to from the same home page had
normal scroll bars when needed, with arrows at both ends.
Would this be due to some kind of coding glitch in the HTML, for the
primary page or the second window, and what kind of glitch or error
might this be?

Unlikely, as HTML doesn't give much scope for fiddling with OS widgets.
Sounds like a browser bug on window resizing. Browser? OS? URL?

Mac OS 9.2, Netscape 7.0.something.
Sorry, can't give URL -- private group's election page, needs password.

The only thing I can think of was the the new window was positioned so
that it's bottom end was off the bottom of the desktop. This happens
quite often when authors create popup windows with large heights via
JavaScript.

primary page or the second window, and what kind of glitch or error

I can't think of anything in HTML that could cause this. If the popup
was created via JavaScript then the height and/or the position could
have been set too great/low.

Hi,
I am struggling with a problem for sometimes. I need to display a table in
a html and if the height of the table goes beyond 200 px then a vertical

height of the table is less than 200 px then no scroll bars should appear.
Here is the html below. I tried to wrap the table around a <div> tag but
its doesn't work out as the scroll bar appear close to the scroll bar...

I am currently using Visual Studio 2005 for a project and I am

Now, how on earth do I get the images and text to vertically align so

you click on the drop-down arrow of a select box. I'm starting to
think that this isn't possible.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
