How To Show a Vertical Scrollbar Inside FIELDSET

[JiaPei Jen]

I use IE 6. My FIELDSET works fine. I have everything displayed as expected. Now I am trying to show a vertical scrollbar inside of a FIELDSET:

<fieldset style="scrollbar-3dlight-color:#FFFFFF;scrollbar-arrow-color:#000000;scrollbar-base-color:#FF9999;scrollbar-darkshadow-color:#000000;scrollbar-face-color:#000000; scrollbar-highlight-color:#000000;scrollbar-shadow-color:#0033CC}; ">
    <table>
       .....
       .....
    </table>
</fieldset>

but the scrollbar simply does not show in the browser. What should I fix to display the scrollbar?

Just adding CSS to an element will not allow it to display a scrollbar.

You can either embed an iframe in the fieldset, or a div with overflow set to auto.

Thanks for your reply. But, it does not work. I still do not get the scrollbar in IE6.

<fieldset>
<legend align="left"> <b>Leads & Events</b> </legend>
<br/>
 
<div style="overflow:auto;scrollbar-3dlight-color:#FFFFFF;scrollbar-arrow-color:#000000;scrollbar-base-color:#FF9999;scrollbar-darkshadow-color:#000000;scrollbar-face-color:#000000;scrollbar-highlight-color:#000000;scrollbar-shadow-color:#0033CC;">
    <table>
        .....
        .....
    </table>
 
</div>
 
<br/>
</fieldset>

First of all, be a good sprt and move all the styles off of the element and into a <style> element.

Secondly, you need to set a height for the div for the scrollbar to appear.
