fixed width and div overflow in transparent bliss 4 Years, 4 Months ago Karma: 0
hi.

the template transparent bliss is by far one of the finest templates i've seen this far, thanks for sharing this. yet it has the same problem as most joomla templates: a lot of content causes a lot of scrolling.

to solve this, i would like to make the main column overflowing (in HEIGHT). with this, the scrollbar will only be shown in the main div if needed, causing the menu to stay visible on any page.
the thing is i haven't figured out exactly how to implement it in the template. i have tried "overflow: auto;" in many possible ways yet without result.

so if anyone knows of a decent solution (keep in mind: div overflow, not frames! and i'm talking about fixed height, not fixed width) it would be highly appreciated if you could help out.

thanks!

Try
#right {overflow: scroll}

I personally don't like those little scroll bars in the middle of the screen. It is possible to have the left menu sit in the same place on the screen while the content still scrolls.

Try replacing #leftwrap with


#leftwrap {
text-align:left;
width:200px;
margin:10px;
position: fixed;
left: 100px;
}

Two main lines being
position: fixed;
left: 100px;<br><br>Post edited by: Bambi, at: 2008/01/24 00:07

LOL, yeah so do I. You can't control the look of the scroll bars. But that method works well as long as the left column doesn't expand beyond the users screen height.

Alright, had to find another solution because IE6 is indeed giving me troubles. Thanks for all the kind help though!
