tbody overflow: hidden with height and width

2006-07-13, 7:14 pm

I have

tbody { height: 30em; width: 80em; overflow: hidden; }

For FF (Firefox) and NS (Netscape) the height is working fine,
no vertical scrolling bar on window.
But the width is not effect at all, got the horizontal scrolling bar
on the window.

I even tried <table width="80%"> and <tobdy width="80%"> but still no
luck.

For IE both height and width are not working at all.

Anyone out there have solution for me?
Thank Q!

Google for "scrolling table" and variations thereof. If I understand
what you're trying to accomplish, there is no simple answer.
