Do a google on scrollable divs...your idea is there, but the method isn't quite right. This is why you've got to declare it twice.

That did it, thanks for your help. I declared it twice, once in the theme.html and once in the stylesheets, becausei f you don't it won't completely work... but thanks again...

The style must be in the head of the file and in the AutoTheme admin there is an option for "strip to head". If this = yes or 1, then AutoTheme strips that style out of the head. Set it = 0 and it should work.

As an alternative, maybe put that style in the style.css.

I'm building a new theme (AutoTheme Lite), and I'd like to have the area that my main modules & center blocks pop up in a scroll area...

here is the code that I'm using

quote:

---

<style type="text/css">
<!--
div.scroll {
height: 200px;
width: 300px;
overflow: auto;
border: 1px solid #666;
background-color: #ccc;
padding: 8px;
}
-->
</style>

quote:

---

<div class="scroll">
<p>This is a scrolling are created with the CSS property overflow in a html block element.</p>
<p>
<span >This is red color</span>
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit, sed diam nonummy nibh.</p>
<p>This is a normal paragraph.
<span >This is big bold text</span>
</p>
<p>This scrolling are can contain normal html like this <a href="index.phtml">link</a></p>
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit, sed diam nonummy nibh.</p>
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit, sed diam nonummy nibh.</p>
</div>
