"Scrolling" table

I have a table and would like to make it scroll if more
rows are in the table than are visible in the height.

How would I do that?

overflow: scroll; doesn't work in IE or mozilla on this table.

Any one who publishes a "tutorial wanna be" should at least proof read
his examples before making them available as guidlines for others.

You still may want to have a look at this to find that there are more
correct solutions.

The former one, however, lets you do things like fixed headers, fixed
footers, etc. all within one table.

The real difference is in the markup, not in the styling.

the div works with every single browser known to personkind. (IE being
one of them)

the table only works with a few. (FF being one of them, and IE *not*
being one of them)

No; those who spends idiotic hours to cover up for MS Bullshit have a
much worse time "on the net" than I have.

Use a textarea. Just set it to the desired width. You get both
horizontal and vertical scrolling for each oversized text entry.

Looking for something that looks like a table, textarea won't work for
this.

It is a facsimile of a Delphi TStringGrid, in case
you were wondering.

Indeed. But even a very small user base such as IE users deserve to see
a site as it was intended to be seen.

Funny thing though... the users dont see the markup, they see the
design.

Well, I "intend" my pages to be seen (or heard, or whatever - let's
just say "rendered") by different browsers in different browsing
situations.
Funny thing though... the users dont see the markup, they see the
design.


What they *see* (etc.) is the /rendering/. If that wasn't what the
design intended, then the design has failed. And basically, any WWW
"design" that intends to "look the same on every browser" (... and in
every browsing situation...) has already failed.

As if a tailor would make a suit to fit only one ideal customer,
rather than for the actual customers who want to buy one. *But* in
the case of the web, the web "tailor" only has to make one suit,
provided he knows how to make it so that it adapts /itself/ to the
client requirements.
