Hi,
Is there a solution to making a scrolling fieldset appear properly in Mac browsers? I checked this on IE Explorer on a mac, and it's not looking right at all.


Above is the url, if anyone can take a look and give any pointers.

Thanks!

Um...

Where is the scrolling fieldset? I don't see any fieldset on the page - or anything scrolling for that matter.

yup, where is it???

Known is handfull, Unknown is worldfull
 
The fieldset (I presume) is on the menu page, but before you try and accomodate 1% of the users using IE/mac (or whatever that value is today) I would suggest you fix it for the appx. 15% of the people using non-IE browsers and thus not seeing proprietary overflow-y: auto; control in your fieldset. I am also at a loss why would you want to use fieldset, which is a form element outside of a form. I would suggest using <div> instead and changing overflow-y: auto; to overflow: auto;. That might also help you with IE/mac.
 

Also, fix your menu scrollbars. Having a scrolling window within a scrolling browser window is really frustrating for the user who has two use 2 scrollbars just to read your menu!

Thanks for the tips. I'm really just not terribly educated on how to do any of this.

I wanted to have the navigation buttons to remain visible when scrolling through the menu, and a fieldset was the first thing I found instructions online for.

I don't know how to "fix scrollbars," and I tried using a "div," but I couldn't eliminate the border it created. If anyone knows of a tutorial that can help me with this stuff, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks again.
 
How about an "I-Frame"

Would that make more sense?
