scrollbar in div wont scroll up or down with mouse wheel

antonyx · #1 (**permalink**) Dec 25th, 2005, 16:20

#right {
position: absolute;
top:0;
left:20%;
height:100%;
width:80%;
background:#666666;
overflow: auto;
}

this code successfully adds a scrollbar to my div if the content is large enough..

however, when the scroll bar is there, i cant scroll up or down with the scroll wheel on the mouse like i can on any other page with a scrollbar (even when i click on the div and try scrolling with the wheel it doesnt work)..the only way to move up or down is to manually click on the scroll bar with the mouse and move it..
this is annoying

anyone else had this issue.. can it be fixed with a piece of code in the stylesheet??

lol

you wont believe this.. i have just downloaded firefox 1.5 and it works.. hahaha
i was using 1.0.4 before and it didnt work

isnt that funny.. ok, let me just add to this post then something else that concerns me..

at the top of my css page i have the following..

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" >

now my question is this... how often will i need to change this code... what site do i need to check to find the 'latest' standard declarations.. and so on.. and are these standards compatible for all browsers...

maybe that code had something to do with why it wasnt working on the old mozilla firefox browser i dont know..

is lol in the dictionary yet...
most people know the word, im sure it is used nowadays more then a lot of words in there.

oh and if anyone else knows the answer to the mysterious code at the top of the page then let me know..

what would be good is if there was a one page site that says...

todays date is:......
please use this bit of code......
we will email you when you have to change it....

someone make that site!
