Question Scroll Bar

[Andy Dean]

Another wee question...

How do you remove the horizontal scrollbar at the botton of the chat area so you only have the vertical one like in the shoutbox on here?

 

[Fillip H.]

There's no horizontal scrollbar on your shoutbox, least not in Opera

Internet Explorer unfortunately doesn't support selectively hiding the scrollbar depending on whether it's actually needed, which is why we recommend viewing our products in either Firefox, Opera or Chrome / Safari

How come i don't see it on the shoutbox on here then, yet see it on my forum?

 

[Fillip H.]

I don't know, maybe I was wrong and it's to do with vB version or the skin's CSS... does it happen with a default (unmodified) style?

 

[Andy Dean]

Yeah, i happens on the default skin too, i guess it's something to do with the way IE interprets overflow:auto, when overflow occurs in one axis it seems to apply scrollbars to both axes

I managed to fix it of sorts!

In the dbtech_vbshout.css template i changed:

.dbtech_vbshout_frame {
	border:0px !important;
	display:block;
	padding:3px;
	padding-left:5px;
        overflow:auto;
        position:relative;
}

to

.dbtech_vbshout_frame {
	border:0px !important;
	display:block;
	padding:3px;
	padding-left:5px;
	overflow-x:hidden;
        overflow-y:auto;
        position:relative;
}

That's stopped the scrollbar appearing at the bottom of the message box!

Thanks again Fillip!

Aha, maybe the y scrollbar caused ie to add the x one, if that made sense. Thanks
