I'm sorry radu I don't understand what you're asking. If you mean the horizontal and vertical bars at the side of the screen you use to go up and down the page or side to side, they are controlled by the browser and will only appear if your page is too big to fit in the browser window.

thanks for reply...

yes, i mean about the scrollbars. I want them to appear just when the text it's overflow. If you expand the menus till down, you will see that the scrollbar (vertical scrollbar)will appear just then. You see that the orizontal scrollbar it's allready there but the text don't overflow...

thanks...

I still can't see what the problem is. The vertical bar is there as the page is longer than the screen. There is no horizontal bar because the page fits within the screen.

I'm not sure what you mean by expand the menu. you have some links at the top and I clicked those, the page opens fine. I've looked at it in IE and Firefox and there's no need for a horizontal scroll.

Can you do a screen grab and draw on it so we can see what you mean?

Most people try and avoid getting horizontal scroll - I can't see your problem either...:)

I can, but that's the default behaviour when you're dealing with a long single string of text or code as you are with the links to the banners - horizontal bar in FF and vertical bar in IE. You can hide the scrollbar but if you do that you can't access the hidden bit of code so you're stuck with it as it is I'm afraid.

Edit: actually if I remember rightly there is some way of hiding the bars in IE but it's non-valid proprietory code so I deliberately forgot it :) might be wrap=virtual but I could be wrong.

Ah! We're talking about the link code on the banners page?

Is this what you mean? If so I don't think you can change it. It's the way the browsers work with your code.

Well after various experiments with wrap="virtual" and wrap="physical" and styling <div>s to look like textareas and changing the tags to character entities so they render....I found the simplest way to do it is to increase the columns in the textarea to 65 rather than 60 (and reduce the number of rows from 4 to 2). That gets rid of the horizontal scroll in Firefox.

Welll yeeees, good point, you could keep making the box bigger until the scrollbars vanish altogether..

OK, now that is where I stop. No way I'm downloading something from a button when I have no idea what it does.

That link goes to an adult site. We do not work with those on here. Thread closed.
