Adding scrollbars to a table 3

[KevinFSI]

Microsoft's MSDN Web Workshop has a table with it's own scrollbars. Can anyone tell me how this is done, or point me to a good tutorial on the subject.

Thanks, Kevin

<table style=&quot;overflow:hidden;height:100;width:300;&quot;> luciddream@subdimension.com

i meant to put either overflow:auto; or overflow:scroll; not hidden. luciddream@subdimension.com

Try setting overflow to scroll - if this doesn't work with the table directly, it will work with the table enclosed in a span. Set overflow-x and y independantly if you like, and make dure you have dimensions defined in your style, otherwise it will just take the dimensions of the table.

Wow, thanks. You guys were quick! I hardly had time to re-fill my cup-o-joe!

Does this work horizontally as well?

Klae, you can see the one I was talking about here:

Roughly in the middle of the page.


Thanks again Kevin

This works perfectly guys. Had to enclose the table in <SPAN> in order to get it to work (thanks bangers) but thanks to you both for the quick response. Kevin

One more question, and it stems from my lack of experience with using span, but if I want to just say <SPAN ID=&quot;...&quot;> instead of declaring all the attributes within the SPAN tag, where do I define the ID? I did it in my stylesheet as #scrollTable... and declared the height/width etc in there, but it didn't work properly. Obviously I'm doing this the wrong way. What is the proper way to go about using <SPAN ID=&quot;...&quot;>? Kevin

Oops disregard. It works fine when I spell the ID correctly. DUH!!! Kevin
