is it possible to lock a div ?

[Nightcrawler89]

It happens that i got a div, its height is set to 800px . but, I also have a form that submit the content as a " ul" . then the content is submited on the div.

Whats happening is that, as more as you post, then as more as the content being posted expands, and then the div is only 800 pxs so, all the extra content that cant fit, is just showing up where is shoulnt.

I guess i could easly just remove the wide of 800px or change it so it would fit, but, im wondering, if theres any way of locking that div, i mean, of makign it not show anything outside it.

Or.... does anyone knows how to go about trying to have multiple pages on that div ?

Would setting a fixed height on the div and then set overflow: auto for a style on the div solve your problem? This would set vertical scroll bars when the content needed more than the fixed height of the div

oh, is it possible to make it scrool only up and down, and not to the sides? ...

because, say for example that on the input i get a " NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN" million characters, in this case it would scrolll to the sides instead of continuating on a new line .

Or in that case then, would i have to add styles to the unsorted list so it never scrolls?

it throws a warning (and maybe an error) but this would work

overflow-x:hidden;
overflow-y:scroll;

It works, it blocks the scrollin to the sides, and only leave the up n down scrolling.


Thanks !!


now ill figure out how to break that NNN million characters into multiple lines.
