Scroll bars in table cell

jaffacake · November 17th, 2005, 02:11 AM

Hi all

Is there a way of forcing a table cell to remain the same size and to show scroll bars when the contents exceed the space in the cell?

Many thanks

Hi Sally,

Try this...

Code:

<table>
    <tr>
        <td>
            <div style="width: 200px; height: 100px; overflow: auto;">
                lots of text<br />
                lots of text<br />
                lots of text<br />
                lots of text<br />
                lots of text<br />
                lots of text<br />
                lots of text<br />
                lots of text<br />
                lots of text<br />
            </div>
        </td>
    </tr>
</table>

HTH,

Chris
