scrollbars=?

larry · August 27th, 2004, 01:18 PM

I am using this little pop-up script which works fine, however, I would like the scrollbars to work automatically.

Code:

<a class="orangeblack" a href="#" onClick="window.open('../hp22-questions/whatever.htm','','toolbar=no,width=475,height=290,left=255,top=170,screenX=1,screenY=15,status=no,scrollbars=yes,resize=no');return false">sometext</a>

What I mean is, if the window requires scrollbars, they will automatically be there, if the window does not require them they won't be. This may come up with monitor size and resolution setting differences for different users.

I realize I can write scrollbars=yes, but that places them on the popup window regardless of any conditions. I have tried scrollbars=auto but that didn't work at all.

Any ideas?

According to MSDN, there is no way.

However, you could surround your content in a div that spans the entire popup and has CSS like this:

.yourDiv {overflow:auto}

That should give you your desired effect.

As Snib says I think you can't control it from there, it's controlled by the scroll setting in the body tag of the actual popup page.
