css table problem

[Ali Babba]

hi all,

i was trying to make some tables with css.
i html it is possible to make a table with a body that scrolls both in
horizontal and vertical direction. with css i can get this only to work
in IE and not in FF.
maybe somebody can tell me what i'm doing wrong here ?

example:

I put this in your .scrollblock:

overflow: scroll;

and I got an horizontal scrollbar in gecko.

..scrollblock .row { width: 200% }

gives you a scrollbar. Of course it also fixes the width of the rows,
whereas you probably want them to adjust to fit their content. Not
sure how to do this. I think it is yet another example of wanting a
block to shrink to fit its children rather than expanding to fit its
parent. The solution is to use HTML tables.

i think fixing the with is probably the only way to make it work, as
otherwise the width is limited to the space within the block (which
makes sense).

thanks both phil and joeZ!
