Overflow problem in Opera

I'm trying to create a scrollable area, and it looks fine for the most part, but Opera is kind of fudging up at the bottom.

Any ideas?

Ex: http://visualintensity.com/overflow.gif

[code]#box {
background:#454545;
height:390px;
width:380px;
position:relative;
padding:5px 0px 5px 0px;
margin: 5px 5px;
border: 1px #EE6A43 solid;
}

.content {
height:380px;
width:370px;
position:relative;
padding:2px 0px 5px 0px;
overflow:auto;
font-family:arial;
font-size:11px;
}[/code]

Come on deker, this is CSS and Opera! Right up your alley, lol.

Or anyone...

I don't think Opera likes overflows very much.

Maybe you can use an iFrame?

Well, I was trying to avoid an iframe.

Which would be more cross-browser, what I'm using now, or an iframe? Or would it be close enough not to matter.

Although I was really trying to learn and code in CSS, well more than the basics that I know. But I'd just like a scrollable area so I can free up some space in my redesign.

Weird that opera has trouble with something like this. :|

Anyway, I don't know what the content's nature will be in the scrollable area, but why don't you make it big enough for one 'something' (like an entry of something?) and then have a "next" button or something? Using PHP that could be generated pretty easily, though I'm sure you know all this already. Iframes are so non-search engine friendly and all that.

Anyway, I don't know what the content's nature will be in the scrollable area

It's gonna be the existing 'blogger' on my vi.com site. It's current nature is 5 entries/page. The reason I was wanting to move to this is because depending on the entries, it can run the page really long. Plus, if I can contain it, I can free up some space below it for other stuff, instead of it needing it's own ever-stretching column.

But now that I think about it, I guess I need to use an iframe, so my navigation menu for the blogger will work. Didn't think about targetting until now. :o I just hate how Opera adds the horizontal scrollbar, whether it's active or not. Ugh. I like what I have done so far...

Oh well.

You can still do good css and do iframes also.

i guess overflow would be more cross browser. because if you turn off css the stuff is still there. whereas with an iframe you have to deal with frames and all that ****.

I just hate to lose my purdy borders and all. Just can't get that with a freakin' iframe. :(

But I need to be able to target that area, and I need an iframe for that. So I'm stuck. But I guess I'll just stick with the ever-stretching column, rather than go iframe.

Good call.

what kind of editor are you using by the way?
