 Posted: Sun Nov 11, 2007 3:03 am I need help with scroll bars in tables!! |
 |

|
Hi,
I am currently writing a reasonably simple website in html. My website is made using tables. The main body of my text need to go in a cell. However, When text is entered that is greater than the height of my table, the table simply get enlarged.
In an ideal world i would like to know how i could set that cell so that if the text (or whatever is in that cell) exceeds the table height a vertical scroll bar would appear.
Is this possible?
Regards,
Mad
(p.s. i have used the search function, but due to the basic nature of my html understanding i found any answers confusing and un-helpfull to me.) |

What do you have now?
| Code: |
<div style="width:200px; height: 300px; overflow:scroll;">
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Cras id metus. Integer sed lorem. Suspendisse molestie massa. Vestibulum felis massa, dictum in, convallis ac, tincidunt sit amet, justo. Integer mattis euismod tortor. Nunc quis dolor at sapien egestas sollicitudin. Cras volutpat ipsum sed pede. Pellentesque ac risus a dui lobortis euismod. Etiam quis quam eget nisi consequat convallis. Sed ligula. Proin neque. Ut sed eros. Proin ultricies ullamcorper purus. Curabitur vel ante. Fusce tempor urna ut lectus. Curabitur viverra euismod tellus. In feugiat sapien at mi.
<br /><br />
Sed ut leo sed justo posuere gravida. Cras semper pellentesque tortor. Curabitur scelerisque ante sit amet erat. Donec dui felis, cursus nec, posuere a, tempor dictum, ante. In ut lorem id magna eleifend gravida. Vivamus felis mi, laoreet eget, dignissim a, facilisis nec, nunc. Praesent nonummy consectetuer diam. Donec eu tortor. Sed sagittis dolor vitae ante. Aliquam eleifend blandit odio. Fusce dictum nisi sit amet elit cursus iaculis. Nam dapibus. Nulla nec lacus quis dolor condimentum dapibus. Vivamus eu tortor. Sed tortor. Curabitur elementum tortor ut nisl. Vestibulum ullamcorper mollis sem. Fusce suscipit risus id mauris.
