Window Scroll Bar Help ????

[Chrisjc]

I would like to make a scroll bar in a CELL is that possiable??? If so I don't know the coding or how to come about this any ideas??? I can't use an Iframe I was going to how ever I couldnt get my DIV to open in the Iframe... all my DIV's have to stay on the same page of coding unless once again anyone has any idea how to come about this???

But there has to be a way to get a SCROLLING CELL right?????

Thanks in Advanced!!

In the css for the div, add overflow:auto;

[AricC]

Here is an example if your stuck:

[html]<div style="border : solid 2px #ff0000; background : #000000; color : #ffffff; padding : 4px; width : 200px; height : 50px; overflow : auto; ">
1<br />
2<br />
3<br />
4<br />
5<br />
6<br />
7<br />
8<br />
9<br />
10<br />
</div>[/html]

Well everything was working fine until I put it in my final work... and now.. it only displays a few things... when I have it with Height and width it messes up... for ( overflow:auto; ) and if I just take it out.. it fills up fine how ever I need that scroll bar... to be there..

Here is an example of what I mean

http://www.afefilters.com/IntakeSytemstest.php

go there that is the page. I currently have overflow:auto; OFF

now make these selections...

FUEL = DIESEL
MAKE = CHEVROLET
MODEL = SILVERADO 2500 HD
YEAR = 2001
ENGINE = V8
LITER = 6.6

After making those selections to your right you will get the part number and description... you will see NINE notice how it cuts into my bar though.

If I but OVERFLOW:AUTO; ON it will display FOUR!!! on the same selection....

and if I take the width and Height off it will give me my scroll bar... but it will be a box by 1px by 1px I don't understand is there another OVERFLOW I can give it? like OVERFLOW SCROLL something like that??

Thanks for the help

FOUND SOMETHING Interesting...

if you do everything I said above... I now have overflow:auto; ON

You will only get four from the selection I had told you to pick... NOW

Lets do a new selection...

FUEL = DIESEL
MAKE = FORD
MODEL = F-250 SUPER DUTY PICKUP
YEAR = 2004
ENGINE = V8
LITER = 6.0

Now look how grate overflow AUTO works... why is this????

There should be ten being displayed for the Chevy.... any ideas???? why this is?

Here are the values you can give to overflow: (visible;hidden;scroll;auto)I did both of the selections neither of them looked like they weren't working correctly ( in IE 6 ) maybe a screen shot would help or something.

Well it was non of those it ended up being my fault I had ( position:absolute; ) in the DIV... so there for it was trying to display by that setting be getting rid of position:absolute; it will read the overflow setting just fine!!
