scrolling sidebar box

[liars_dance]

New to bloggish and to this comm! I have managed to incorporate a couple of extra boxes into my sidebar (on a test journal) including a random quote generator using the very helpful tutorials here. But I have a question; on my current flexible squares layout I have been able to use a scrolling box for my taglist; is there any chance that I might be

Certainly. All it takes is a little bit of CSS placed in your layer or in your "Custom CSS" box using the customization wizard. You would change the height of the box to suit your needs.

The whole box
.module-categories{
height:100px;
overflow:auto;
}

or Just the tags
.module-categories .module-content{
height:100px;
overflow:auto;
}

thank you! That worked a treat. Now my journal looks fab in Firefox but only half the sidebar and no entries at all show in IE :( Is this a problem others have encountered? Is there a trick to having the layout look good in both browsers?!

That particular code should make no difference in IE or in Firefox. There may be something else interfering? Where is the journal in question?

Hmmm... that's a shame. I've tried the CSS and theme together on my actual journal (so different entries) and it still won't show in IE. If I don't have the theme layer (and therefore my extra boxes it works fine. But I want my boxes! Ah well, back to flexible squares... But thanks for your help - t'was much appreciated!

It's probably just a box that isn't closed properly. Where is your theme layer?

ETA: no worries - I've sorted it; I have no idea how, but the page will now load in IE :D Thank you again!
