So far in this series we have covered the basic syntax of CSS, how to work with backgrounds, text, fonts, borders, outlines, margins, cell padding, lists, and tables. Starting in this tutorial we will cover some of the more advanced CSS techniques, beginning with using the various dimension properties. There are quite a few, and hopefully we will cover all of them in this article.
CSS: Dimensions - Scrollbars in CSS (Page 5 of 5 )
Since there is a little bit of space available and we have finished our discussion of dimensions in CSS, I figured I would throw in a brief example of working with scrollbars. Try the following example:
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<style type="text/css">
.scroll{
display:block;
border: 1px solid blue;
padding:5px;
margin-top:5px;
width:200px;
height:100px;
overflow:scroll;
}
.auto{
display:block;
border: 2px solid red;
padding:5px;
margin-top:5px;
width:300px;
height:150px;
overflow:auto;
}
</style>
<p>This is a scroll:</p>
<div class="scroll">
My favorite cereals are: Apple Jacks, Cheerios, Fruit Loops, Pops, Cookie Crisp, and Peanut Butter Captain Crunch even though it cuts up the roof of my mouth. It is worth it though.
</div>
<br />
<p>With an auto value:</p>
<div class="auto">
My least favorite cereals are anything healthy. I mean, who needs that. It's all about the sugar. In fact, I have never tried a cereal that was really healthy for you, and if I did, I added so much sugar to it that it wasn't even funny. </div>
</body>
</html>
Well that's all the time we have for now. I will cover how scrollbars work in our next exciting episode, so stick around.
Till then...
