Nested Scroll Bar

[moesian]

Hi,

Is it possible just using CSS to create a new nested scroll bar within a page? Or is this something that you would have to do with javascript?

What would be the best option for such a thing?

Thanks

Not too difficult. Make an element, give it fixed dimensions and

overflow:auto

. Then, when you put more content in it that it has space for, it'll gain a scrollbar. If you want a scrollbar all the time then you can use

overflow:scroll

but that'll give you a vertical and horizontal scrollbar. Luckily IE and Firefox both support CSS3's

overflow-x

and

overflow-y

which let you fine-tune the appearance.

Thanks alot, will the overflow:auto work in IE6?

Yep.
