ross549 Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 I installed a new theme on my website, and it looks really good, but I have not yet been able to figure out why I am getting a scrollbar on the bottom of my Mozilla window. I have done some digging through the templates, but have found nothing yet.Let me know if you have a bottom scrollbar!Click here to check.If you get a scrollbar on the bottom of your browser, let me know what browser and operating system you are using. Thanks!Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epp_b Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 No scrollbar for me. I am using MSIE 6 on Win98SE @ 800x600. Using FireFox 1.0 on Win98SE @ 800x600, I do see a scollbar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeber Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 Pretty slick way to get visitors to your site, Adam. Yes, I see a scrollbar at the bottom, but it only scrolls an eighth of an inch, if that. Perhaps one of your links in HTML is too long(?). FF 1.0 in XP at the moment.

ross549 Posted November 11, 2004 Author Share Posted November 11, 2004 Well, I am not trying to drive people to my site, just trying to figure out what is causing the problem with the scrollbar...... I will be looking into this further this afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peachy Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 Firefox 1.0 shows the scroll bar because you have set a width attribute of 100% for the <body> element. And then you've set table widths of 100%. This will always cause the content to stretch as wide it can be when the browser window is not maximized. Hence, Mozilla based browsers will interpret this behaviour correctly and add scroll bars to the browser window. IE appears to be broken on this, but you get what you wanted. There's some irony here in having buggy software behaving the way you'd like it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ross549 Posted November 11, 2004 Author Share Posted November 11, 2004 Hmm..... that is stinky. I do not like the scrollbar being there, but still want to maintain 100% page width. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peachy Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 But why do you need to set the body width? It would just be as easy to set the margins for body to say 0 or whatever you want it to be. It should still work the same way. As long as you set the first table to 100% it should do what you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ross549 Posted November 11, 2004 Author Share Posted November 11, 2004 hmm.... I just dug through the entire source for the main page, and the only instances of 100% were assigned to tables or table cells. The body tage does not seem to have any specific width assigned to it..... <body bgcolor="#ffffff"> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peachy Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 <body bgcolor="#ffffff"><table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%"> Oops. Didn't see the first table tag there. Hmm... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ross549 Posted November 11, 2004 Author Share Posted November 11, 2004 Yeah, it is baffling me at this point. I really do not know what is causing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arena2045 Posted November 13, 2004 Share Posted November 13, 2004 Just curious: did you make this template from scratch, or download it then customize it?Shows up with FF on OS X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paracelsus Posted November 14, 2004 Share Posted November 14, 2004 OK... Late to the Party as Usual.Like epp_b, I get a scroll bar on FF1.0, but none on IE6. As Jebs stated, it only "scrolls" a fraction of an inch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno Posted November 14, 2004 Share Posted November 14, 2004 No Scroll in either Galeon, Konqueror or Mozilla ( Linux ) Adam . . even if I make the window only half the monitor size, still no scrollbar ( I should have been able to vote 3 times, shouldn't I ?? ) Bruno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NRD Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 Look for the following code: <tr class="bg_medium"> Â <td colspan="2" align="right" valign="top"><font color="#ffffff">Â </font> Â </td> </tr> Remove the align="right" atrribute.

ross549 Posted November 19, 2004 Author Share Posted November 19, 2004 Thanks, NRD! That seemed to fix it! Odd that it only happened in Mozilla, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
