Determine height on runtime

[Kostarsus]

Hello,

I have a table that expands the view sometimes. The table isn't high but broad. So I want to add a horizontal scrollbar to the table.

Here is the code, I used:


<div id="div_layer" style="overflow-x:auto;">
<table id="t" border="0" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3" width="85%" >
...
</table>
</div>
<script>
var wps=document.getElementById("t");
document.all.div_layer.style.pixelHeight=wps.style.height + 30;
if ( (screen.width>=1280) && (top.document.all.framesetId.cols == '216,17,*,26')){ document.all.div_layer.style.pixelWidth=800; }
</script>


If the table grows to broad, the horizontal scrollbar is displayed. This is right, but the scrollbar truncates the text of the table.
So I tried to expand the height of the table by the difference of the height from the scrollbar but the height-value of the table isn't set. Whethter at the end of the page nor in the onLoad event.
Do you have any ideas, how I can expand the table in height, so that the scrollbar don't truncate the contents of the table?

Bye Kostarsus

what exactly do you mean by "the scrollbar truncates the text of the table" ?
