After doing that, save your file and view it in a browser. The results might surprise you. You might also want to be honest enough with your clients to tell them that they need a new web author as the one they currently have is incapable of the job. </div>  SignatureRandy Chance Favors The Prepared Mind comp.lang.javascript FAQ - http://jibbering.com/faq/index.html Javascript Best Practices - http://www.JavascriptToolbox.com/bestpractices/ wow i am a newb, thanks though Hi Randy, > Maybe you have heard of this new phenomenon in the world of web design > called CSS? overflow: scroll Do you have a web reference somewher that has the latest tag-options with a description of each? I am a newbie too and have been looking up the list on the w3schools website and couldn't see anything about "overflow" options. My sarcasm meter says you were inferring that this was not a new option so a pointer to the latest and greatest docs would be much appreciated.

You have to look better, then: http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_positioning.asp > But while I'm here; how do you get rid of the bottom scroll bar? The scrollbars behaves differently in different browsers (unfortunately) > PS. Also, an an exception thrown by a Java applet method be caught by > a Javascript try/catch? Not directly, no. Catch the exception in java, and return the condition to your JS in a controlled way. SignatureDag.

I have never been a fan of the w3schools site either. I have taken the JS test there several times to see if it has changed in quality and it hasn't. It typically has between 4 and 8 incorrect answers out of 20 questions. So I am not sure if w3schools has a decent CSS side or not. You could try asking in news:comp.infosystems.www.authoring.stylesheets about a tutorial or reference page. > My sarcasm meter says you were inferring that this was not > a new option so a pointer to the latest and greatest docs > would be much appreciated. Yes, it was extreme sarcasm. overflow: setting has been around for a very long time. The sarcasm got injected by having a client and being unable to come up with something as simple as a scrollbar. > But while I'm here; how do you get rid of the bottom scroll bar? As has already been pointed out in another reply, it depends on the browser and how it decides to handle scrollbars. > Regards Richard Maher > > PS.
