Display a Table with a scrollbar

JohannIcon · Sep 13, 2002

Hello All,

I have a problem with displaying tables. Since not all of my tables contain the same date, they are not the same size. What I wish to do is have a standard table width and height, and if there is a lot of data to display, then a scrollbar at the end of the table field will appear and the user can scroll down or up as he wishes.

How can I do this?

Thanks for your help!

You can place your tables in <DIV> blocks - maybe something like this:

Code:

<STYLE>
#table  {width: 400; height: 300; overflow-x: none; overflow-y: auto;}
</STYLE>
</HEAD>

<BODY>
<DIV CLASS=table>
<TABLE ...>
...
</TABLE>
</DIV>

Hi FesterSXS,

Thanks for your reply. I am doing something similar like you mentioned here. Here is my code:-

<DIV style="width: 352; height: 229; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: auto;">
<table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="3">
<tr>
<td width="25%" bgcolor="F0F0F0">
<font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">
<%Response.Write( rs.Fields("teu_year&quot

)%>
</font></td>
<td width="75%" bgcolor="F0F0F0">
<font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">
<%Response.Write( rs.Fields("teu&quot

)%>
</font></td>
</tr>
<%
rs.MoveNext
if rs.eof then
exit do
End If
loop until rs.eof
%>
</table>
</div>

The problem is that is scrollbar is appearing as I want it, however there is a lot of extra space between the table fields, for example I have a list of dates, and between the 2000 cell and the 2001 cell, there is a lot of white space. Can it be from the programming side?

THanks for your help

I managed to find the problem!!!! I was calling the recordset erroneously!
