Perfik!! Looks spot on in FF.

I won't be able to test that until I get home.

I agree with you that a horizontal scroll is needed on the code box to prevent the page width going ballistic, but there is no need for the vertical scrollbar on one line of text in the code box or either scrollbar that appears on posting/message area. The code box should surely scale to fit in the available width of the post?

to get rid of the scrollbars (though like mikey, id advise keeping) just look for the following in the CSS file (default_style.css) and remove the parts in red:

.BBcode{
    font-family: Courier New, Courier, mono;
    border: 1px dashed #999999;
    width: 97%;
    padding: 5px;
    margin: 8px 0px;
    text-align: left;
    overflow: auto;
    display: block;
    padding: 5px;
}

Without the scroll bars the entire page would be stretched out of propertions, using the scroll bar method keeps the page at the correct size.]]> Fri, 19 Jan 2007 12:18:17 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/code-block-scrollbars_topic22450_post119562.html#119562 <![CDATA[CODE block scrollbars : Mikey&#039;s post here contains...]]> https://forums.webwiz.net/code-block-scrollbars_topic22450_post119554.html#119554 Author: MrMellie

Mikey's post here contains a prime illustration of something that I'm finding quite frustrating - excessive scroll bars. My browser has scrollbars for scrolling round a page. Is there any simple way of turning off the excessive amounts of redundant scrollbars that appear when using the [C0DE] tags??

Instead of sizing properly vertically, the code blocks puts in a scrollbar that you can only access by scrolling down the browser to the scrollbars that are now appearing on the post itself, so you can scroll across, scroll back up (browser) to the code block, scroll the code so it's visible, scroll down (browser), scroll back across (post), scroll back up again just so I can see the beginning of the code line!
