Deji Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Umm... Firefox doesn't like horizontal scrollbars on divs, does it? Well... I can't figure out how to get a horizontal scrollbar to work on a div... I mean, I can get it to show up. And I can make the vert one fuck off... But Firefox doesn't use the horz one. It does absolutely nothing. GRRR. Is "overflow-x" deprecated? I'm really tired, btw... It's 5:17AM and I'm hacking away at my myspace profile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockstarrem Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 wut? Can you use another element than a div? Not really sure if div's are made for scrollbars and shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deji Posted December 12, 2009 Author Share Posted December 12, 2009 http://www.w3schools.com/Css/tryit.asp?filename=trycss_overflow Div's are the "it" for everything. A table is an alternate method for creating... Tables. But not layout stuff (although most web designers take the lazy route ) In Firefox, if you add overflow-x:scroll, it just acts as if you'd typed overflow:scroll and shows both bars. I think it works in IE, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Why the hell would you WANT horizontal scroll? It's one of the most annoying things you can do for a web user. Avoid it at all costs. You must have a pretty decent reason to justify the use of it, and I'd like to hear it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deji Posted December 13, 2009 Author Share Posted December 13, 2009 (edited) It's having to scroll left to view the end of a text because of wide pages that people mainly hate... I want a horizontal scroll in a div, not the whole page. The reason being that the section I want to make scrollable is not very wide vertically. Also, due to it being images I'm adding in a kinda, it would be nicer to do it in this way. It's not as if they'd be scrolling back and forth to read text.. It's just a scroll with little thumbnail links. EDIT: The newest versions of IExplorer mess it up too...

Chris Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 It's still completely unnecessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Ray Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Mozilla and Microsoft probably disabled it on purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
