Scrollable content area -- overflowing in Netscape

[mlm823]

Hello I have some code at a site that scrolls some text as your mouse hovers over two graphics... the issue is that in Netscape the text is overflowing into an image not suppose to do that...

You can view the site at

If you want to see the actual code you can view the source...or I can post it here...

THANKS

The first thing you should do is get your HTML code validating. That involves putting correct HTML character entities for your "extended" characters, rather than pasting the actual characters into the source.

Once you have your HTML validating, make sure your CSS validates as well. I would also make sure you go through and put unit specifiers after a lot of your widths ("px", I imagine).

Alternatively, you could scrap that whole load of JavaScript, opting for a scrollable DIV which would be much, much smaller code-wise (just a few lines of CSS instead of many lines of JavaScript). The only thing you lose would be your custom scroll arrows.

That aside, you should also standardise on your spelling if "Isyer" - in some places you have the accented E, in others you do not - why the inconsistency?

Hope this helps,
Dan

Hello Dan

Thanks for the information -- although it doesn't really explain why it isn't working for Netscape.
What extended "Entities" are you mentioning?

In regards to your question on the ISYER with the accent and without the accent... The content for the site is how the client desired. As well I approached them with straight DIV scrollable but it doesn't go with their design so they didn't like it.

Thanks for your help,
Maranda

HTML character entities are codes used to represent characters - used mainly for portability reasons. For example, " instead of ".

I'm suggesting you use the correct codes for your accented E instead of just having the accented E in source. Ask in the HTML forum (forum215) if you need any more information on those.

Do you have any insight on why the scrollable code isn't working?

I'll make the change for the accented e code.

Thanks,
