making a table scroll vertically

[AntiEarnie]

Quick question. How can you force a table to scroll vertically? I can use the height setting to set the MINIMUM size of the table but if the table fills up more space then what is specified in the height command it just keeps growing.

i.e. setting height="200" on a table is about 10 lines.
If the table only holds 5 rows worth of stuff it vertically padds them. However, if the table has 150 rows then the height setting is ignored and all 150 rows are displayed taking up the entire screen.

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong here? It just seems strange for height to set the Min height but not the Max height of the table.

try adding style="overflow:auto;" in your table attributes. If that doesn't work create a DIV with scroll:auto; and the wanted size of your table. Then make your table be 100% width and height. Gary

Sadly using the style=overflow:auto didn't give me a max table height either. Though neither did style=height:200px. I've found 3 ways to set the minimum height of a table now...

Havent played with DIV's so I'm not sure about that one.

This is what Xutopia meant:

<div style=&quot;height:200px;overflow:auto;&quot;>
<table style=&quot;width:100%;height:100%;&quot;>......</table>
</div>

Note--you can still have other attributes for the <table>.
