Scrollbar..., Why are they 2 different sizes. Options

[Laurygrl]

Hi...

I recently added side-by-side fieldset content boxes with scrollbars into my profile. After inserting the code into my profile, I noticed that the height of the scroll face is different on both of the boxes.

Here is my code (I think there may be some mistakes in it. This code was something I had a hard time finding and I kind of had to improvise with my very limited HTML knowledge. I tried to tighten it up a little bit, but everytime I did, it messed up the position of my navigtion bar):

Better explanation please? Why are you using tables? (td, table, etc)
You mean teh love and love not boxes? They look exactly the same.


Topics Merged.

[cmae21]

the only reason the scroll faces are different sizes is bc of the amount of content in each box. other than that they are correct.

[Laurygrl]

Yeah... I meant the actual scrollbar.

Thanks, I didn't know that the quantity in the box actually had something to do with the size of the scrollbar face (term???).

And sorry for the reposts... it kept on saying something about the system being flooded and to try back in 30 seconds. I guess they somehow kept getting through,

My apologies.

[cmae21]

no problem. but yes, the less content you have in the scroll box makes the scroll face longer, where as more content it gets made shorter.
