"Scrolling" table

Mr.Clean

2005-01-24, 7:21 pm

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.

Plain Bullshit; read up on THEAD TBODY and TFOOT, it's all available in
the HTML 4.01 spec.

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.

from Jan Roland Erikson's link:
<tbody style="height: 5em; overflow: auto;">

from Mr.Clean's link:
<div STYLE=" height: 100px; width: 150px; font-size: 12px; overflow: auto;">

looks pretty much the same to me.

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)

I take it that you have already sent your bug report to Microsoft?

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.
