Hello,

I'm modifying the look of my scroll bars with css and it's working in some pages, but not in a frameset. Also my right frame is showing both horizontal and vertical scroll bars when all I have there is text. Please take a look at the link below. The problem is explained there.


thanks in advance
 
Um. The whole scrollbar-CSS thing only works in Internet Explorer in case you don't know.

As for your problem with the scrollbars showing, have you tried adding this to your stylesheet?

body {overflow-x: hidden;}

opinion {
inline-styles: are-messy;
internal-stylesheets: waste-space;
external-stylesheets: are-bliss;
}
 
Thanks for your response.

Yes I know that it only works with IE, but why is it working for some pages and not for others within the same browser. I just tried the overflow-x: hidden; and it didn't work.

yes I'm using an external stylesheet.

I'm going crazy with this simple thing that I can't figure out.
 

Your scrollbar problem exists due to a missing line in your "right.html" code:

Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>

The omission of this line, I'd say, changes the way the body tag is behaving, and thus the CSS is not attaching. It is working in temp.html because this line is in. Add it in to right.html and all works again.

Hope this helps,
Dan
 
ahhhhhhhhhhhhh what a relief...that did it. Thanks so much. The temp.html was done with dreamweaver MX, but the new page was done with dreamweaver MX 2004...I wonder if there's a bug.
