Nightlord Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 First off, here's the site: http://www.sidinginc.comThe problem is that if your screen resolution is too low, you can't see the entire page. Normally, you could scroll down... but that optiondoesn't seem to be available. I've checked and rechecked my code and can't figure out what's causing this.

ripken204 Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 (edited) do you mean for the left menu? try overflow:scroll Edited September 29, 2007 by ripken204 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightlord Posted September 29, 2007 Author Share Posted September 29, 2007 Right... but I don't want the left side to be its own element.If the left side (the Copyright notice, for example) it off the bottom of the screen,I want the whole page to be able to scroll down.

Chozo4 Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 What browser are you experiencing this under? Does it occur for other browsers or just a single one?The whole page itself scrolls just fine for me under IE5.5. However...div#left { color: #FFFFFF; position: fixed; left: 0px; top: 0px; width: 170px; height: 100%; background-image: url(assets/sidebar_body.png); background-repeat: repeat; text-align: center; }Seems to be the culprit. Your use of 'position: fixed' is removing the vertical bars from scrolling. Perhaps you should try aligning the left menu inside a table rather than positioning through CSS.

jcarle Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 Seems to be the culprit. Your use of 'position: fixed' is removing the vertical bars from scrolling. Perhaps you should try aligning the left menu inside a table rather than positioning through CSS.That's not really the solution. All that really needs to be done is better use of the DIVs. Using fixed is just asking for trouble. You need to nest the divs and set relative spacing for everything to work the way you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idontwantspam Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Whooooa. Under Firefox 2.0.0.7 it doesn't scroll. Avoid position:fixed at all costs. It doesn't work well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deda Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 English isn't my native idiom. Try to use percentage width:xx% and so on ; position:relative is useful most times... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idontwantspam Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 Absolute has often worked fine for me... of course in the standards compliant browsers, like firefox, opera and safari, but even in IE. fixed gets all mixed up though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
