Scrolling Entries

Oct 06, 2004 08:32

To make your entries scroll, review the print_entry function to find where (and understand how?) the entries are printed and then add a little CSS to the stylesheet.

( Oh yeah, a cut might be nice. )

except that it looks hideous in firefox.

best thing is to add it to print_entry() anyway.

Fixed, I forgot that sometimes setting it to auto and having relative positioning stated makes it all better.

ahh... much better. :)

awesome...

my only suggestion is to add the scrolling to entrytext instead of entry, that way you dont lose the header info when you scroll (in case you want to go to comments next, and so it doesn't merge with entries above....

unless you tried it and it doesn't work well for some reason.

Oh, there is that extra DIV I was thinking of. Good call. :-)

ok, i did the ctrl f to find ".entrytext" -- not found. searched the coding for it, not found. i notice you have the div= "entrytext" bolded, where exactly am i supposed to put the ".entrytext { margin...etc etc etc?

The .entrytext { ... is in your stylesheet.

HI. I am using this for scrolling enteries. It is working wonderfully in Netcsaoe and firefox...even resizing the entries horozontally as well as vertically for me automatically. The difficulty I am having is in gett the horizontal scroll bar to size properly in IE. I have used several different widths, but it never seems to be right.

Any ideas as to what I can do?
