Hi Randy,

>Maybe you have heard of this new phenomenon in the world of web design
called CSS? overflow: scroll
Do you have a web reference somewher that has the latest tag-options with a
description of each?
<URL: http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/although it is what I would call a
good reference for a beginner.
I am a newbie too and have been looking up the list on
the w3schools website and couldn't see anything about
"overflow" options.
I have never been a fan of the w3schools site either. I have taken the
JS test there several times to see if it has changed in quality and it
hasn't. It typically has between 4 and 8 incorrect answers out of 20
questions. So I am not sure if w3schools has a decent CSS side or not.
You could try asking in news:comp.infosystems.
www.authoring.stylesheets
about a tutorial or reference page.
My sarcasm meter says you were inferring that this was not
a new option so a pointer to the latest and greatest docs
would be much appreciated.
Yes, it was extreme sarcasm. overflow: setting has been around for a
very long time. The sarcasm got injected by having a client and being
unable to come up with something as simple as a scrollbar.
But while I'm here; how do you get rid of the bottom scroll bar?
As has already been pointed out in another reply, it depends on the
browser and how it decides to handle scrollbars.
Regards Richard Maher
PS. Also, an an exception thrown by a Java applet method be caught by a
Javascript try/catch?
No, JS can only catch JS errors.
