vertical scrollbars missing in output

[techwriteremb]

I have a project upgraded from 7 to 8. Using IE 7.

The initial conversion seemed to be fine.

Now when I create the output, my vertical scrollbars are missing on all the topics.

This is true only in the right pane (not on the TOC). This is true regardless of the skin.

The only clue that I have is that I was trying to add DHTML to a topic when I noticed that the scrollbars disappeared. The system seemed to lose the vertical scroll bars after that.

I am not using the DHTML anywhere in the system now, and the original did not use it, either.

Ideas?

Hi,

There are two things I can think of:

     - Open your skin in Notepad and look for a code like this:

          <frame name="Topic Pane" frameborder="1" borderspace="1" bordercolor="Gray" marginwidth="-1" marginheight="-1" id="4" />

          If scrolling="no" is added, remove that. Note that this line has two occurences.

     - Add to your stylesheet: html {overflow: auto;}

If this doesn't work, please create a new project and post it with your skin files, so we can have a look.

Greet,

Willam

I added the indicated lines--no luck.

Imported all the html files to a brand new project (with the default skin) and still no luck.

Compared obvious default browser settings w/colleague, reset and restarted--no luck.

Is there some setting in RH that I need to look at?

No option I can think of...

Can you post an example project so we can see what's going on in your project?

Hi there

In addition to what Willam offered, I will also ask the following. I don't see it has been asked yet. If so, my apologies as I missed it.

Are the topics actually longer than the page? One might assume so, but you never know. Many of the newer computers operate at amazing screen resolutions that just weren't possible a few short years ago. So if all your content actually fits the screen, there would be no scroll bars to see.

What happens if you resize the browser window to something smaller? Does the fact you change that then make them appear?

I know you cite IE7, but does this also happen in FF or other browsers?

Cheers... Rick

After a fair amount of wrangling, I finally figured out that the HTML had somehow had the property scroll="no" added to the pages. No idea how this happened. At any rate, I've removed and it seems good.
