Hey everyone
im having a problem with the width of my main (content) div. when i add text it expands with the text (instead of automaticly going down a line) although i have placed a width: property.
currently the width is set to auto however when a fixed number (Xpx) is placed it still happens, however overflow:scroll elimates the overlapping but adds a yucky scroll bar.
any ideas?
code:
html:
- Code: Select all
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html;
charset=iso-8859-1" />
<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-us" />
<link href="hodvehadarstyle.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
</head>
<body>
<div class="box">
<div class="header"></div>
<div class="contentarea">
<div class="menucont">
</div>
<div class="right">
</div>
<div id="content">
<p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html
css (i excluded hyperlink related style to save room)
