In regards to my scrollbar issue. I do not want a horizontal bar to
appear
on the bottom, so in trying to figure out a way of eliminating it from
the
bottom, I discovered this solution:
overflow-x: hidden;
overflow-y: auto;
Is there a CSS compliant way of handling this? and one that is
compatible
with Safari?
overflow-x:hidden;
overflow-y:auto;
is **perfectly valid CSS 3**.
But it is not supported by Safari 2.0 and older, and Opera 9.1 and older.
Firefox supports it since version 1.5
The way to solve your this:
1/ if CSS2.1 validation is important or required, use 'overflow:auto'. A
horizontal scrollbar will only be triggered if there is very long content
that doesn't fit in the content. Except in iExploder, that is [1].
2/ else: write it out this way:
overflow:auto;
overflow-x:hidden;
overflow-y:auto;
Browsers that do not understand the 'overflow-x:hidden;overflow- y:auto;'
will still have the first declaration to work with. And you'll still have
a perfectly valid CSS 3 style sheet.
[1] iExploder will show a ghost horizontal scrollbar anyway. If CSS 2.1
validation is important, use a Conditional Comment to serve the
'overflow-x:hidden;overflow-y:auto;' to that browser.
BTW if CSS 2.1 validation is important, please remove that ugly
scrollbar-base-color, etc.
