browser scrollbar 'defect'

[simonB]

I have a table in my page with many rows hidden (display:none).

On user actions, the rows are revealed (.style.display = 'inline')

As the rows are displayed, the table extends off the bottom of the viewable area of the page/window.

The problem is that the browser scrollbar does not extend to accommodate the new length of the page, so the user cannot scroll down to view the 'new' content.

I have tried :

if(document.body.offsetHeight < n.offsetHeight){document.body.height = n.offsetHeight};

..... but that doesn't seem to 'refresh' the scrollbar scale either.

I have some dirty ways around this, but they are dirty and i'd rather do this the 'right' way!

Hope someone can help?

I'm not sure it will affect your problem, but I believe display:block is more appropriate for a table.
