I want to make a part of my page srollable. Therefore I've placed the content of that part in between <div id=scrollcontent> Content here </div>. In my CSS I've defined scrollcontent as follows:
#scrollcontent
{
width: 735;
height: 430;
background-color: #FFFFFF;
overflow: auto;
} This gives some problems with other DIV's that I use in my override templates. Some backgroundcolors don't show up, until you move your mouse over them. Some parts that I select with my mouse, stay selected while I select another part and so on. Does anyone know what can be causing this? Thank you for your time, Maarten

Maarten, what browser(s) are these problems showing up in? Can you post the URL of this page? Solving CSS issues tend to require looking at the actual page to find a solution. Alex

Unfortunately I can´t post an URL because it´s not on a productionserver yet. Problem is showing up in IE 6 on Windows. It seems to have something to do with pagelayout.tpl. When I put the DIV in that template (around module.result.content) the problems appears. When I put the DIV around the code in the overridetemplate, the problem dissapears.

Hrrrm, it sounds like a cascade problem. Can you cut and paste the following bits of code please?
1. The CSS used to style the page
2. The code output to the browser when you place the div in pagelayout.tpl
3. The code output to the browser when using the override template This will help tremendously. Alex

Hi Alex, A copy of the site can be visited at example.ezstart.nl. At some pages, the problem also appears when I put the DIV in the override. This happens at the loginpage for example. Strange enough, some other pages don't have this problem when I put the DIV in the override. I hope you can find the problem. Thank you for your help. Cheers, Maarten

Maarten, while I can see the site, I don't have a login, so I cannot see a page that should overflow. Would it be possible to provide a guest login? If you don't want to provide it to the world, you can e-mail me at <i>- removed by Alex -</i>. A couple of quick notes. IE is known for having issues with <i>overflow: auto</i>. This is due in large part to other elements not having heights set to them as well. You may want to experiment with applying a height via CSS to <i>div#boxgroot-body</i>. Also, I think your debugging efforts are harder as you are mixing table based layouts with CSS based layouts. This makes calculating heights and widths much harder as you have to account for the values in your various table tags alongside the values in your stylesheets. This is complicated even further by the differences in the way each browser interprests the box model (for example the padding value may be added to the total width, or it may be taken as part of the specified width). All in all it gets quite confusing. :( Hopefully we can figure this out and get you going! Alex

Also, you should include a Doctype to ensure your site is rendered properly. IE 6 has a strict mode and a quirks mode. Quirks mode provides support for code developed for earlier versions of IE. Some resources:

Ooops, I made a mistake in my e-mail address, sending the first part of my home address with the latter part of my work address. Duh! Sorry about that. I have sent you an e-mail. Alex
