Scroll in a td ???

Hi !
Is there a way to have a scroll bar in a table cell ?
I have tried to limit the cell height, but it does not seem to help.
The tag "scrolling=yes" like for frames does not seem to work either...

(I want to have a table with 3 rows, total height =100%. Top and bottom rows always visible, no matter how long the content in the middle row is => scroll bar in middle row)


Any idea ?

Tks a lot
Fred

style="overflow: scroll;"

well, thanks, .....
:rolleyes: but I do not get it...

Where should I write this. In the cell definition tag ?
<td valign="top" style="overflow: scroll;">

Fred.

'overflow' is a CSS2 property. Does your browser support this?

I don't know if my browser supports this, but does it matter? If I programm a site, it's not only for my personnal use, but should be viewable with every browser....

Any solution to my problem within the HTML limits ?

Thank you...

:(

I guess Santa Claus is not coming to me this time...

Fred.

Anything in JS maybe ?
The thing is: I'm a beginner, but I've already heard frames are stone age. Not sure I should begin with something that will be ridiculous at the end anyway....

just use an iframe, if it is just for your personal use.
javascript can't do this.

yep

overflow: scroll;

is fine for IE5+ (Win or Mac), NS6+ (and all Mozilla derivatives), Opera 5+, and probably Konqueror too.

I don't see the compatibility problem.

I have tried, still not better. I really feel stupid... can one of you guys have a look at the coding and tell me what's wrong ?
I have used <td valign="top" style="overflow: scroll;"> as advised.

Tks a lot again
Fred :thumbsup:

The overflow attribute does not work for the td tag. Just rap your content in that cell around a div tag, like so:

<td>
<div style="overflow: auto; height: 450px;">
your content
</div>
</td>

You have to give the div a height also. When the content reaches your pre-defined height limit it will add the scroll bar.
