Hello.

How can I create a scrollbar for the list of tags in my topics?

I want to keep the search form though.

This is how my style.css looks like:

#topic-tags {

border-left: 1px solid #ccc;

float: right;

padding: 0 0 0 1em;

Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Bob

“overflow:auto”

It creates a scrollbar inside a DIV

Hello.

This is what I’ve done with my topic.php:

<div style="overflow:auto"><?php topic_tags(); ?></div>

No result. Also, shouldn’t I set a width and a length somewhere?

I’ve also tried:

#topic-tags {

border-left: 1px solid #ccc;

float: right;

padding: 0 0 0 1em;

overflow:auto;}

No result.

Suggestions?

Regards,

Bob

You *do* need to set the height, at least, to create the vertical scrollbar. So what size do you want to constrain it to? Can you show an example of a page where the tag list is too long that you want to add the scrollbar to?

Maybe this page?

Add this to the topic-tags CSS right where you added the overflow: auto

height: 110px;

That will make it about as tall as the information to the left (at least on this page, with the amount of information there.)

Hello again.

It worked like a glove. Thank you chrishajer. And thank you Kevin as well.

For posterity’s sake now, this is what one should modify in their style.css in order to achieve a vertical scrollbar for their tag list:

#topic-tags {

border-left: 1px solid #ccc;

float: right;

padding: 0 0 0 1em;

overflow:auto;

height: 240px;}

I sometimes wonder where should one start if one wanted to build a solid foundation in PHP? For I only use (basic) logics and ask for help when I’m stuck.

Nevertheless, thank you all once again.

Regards,

Pastor Bob
