sorry guys..I have the same problem with not knowing how to get scrollbars inside my xanga "picture" as you might say..the text goes off the picture and I don't know how to put scrollbars inside it. Someone helped me with my code before, but when I tried to put in the same code, it didn't work. here's my current code:



to see what I mean, here's my example.

As I said, change your height property.
And it's overflow-Y, not X.
(Ridiculos numbers get ignored by the browsers.)

No, I mean the width of the blog. You're asking for a scrollbar that goes across the bottom of your div layer, aren't you?

you also have to take out overflow-x:hidden;

why would you want a horizontal scroll... those aren't right except for... horizontal layouts

I like being bothered.
It gives me something to do besides sit her and code layouts no one will ever use because they're too complicated. =)
