Adding Scrollbar to Table DATA

[v_karthi]

Hi All,

I have situation whereby I have to add a scroll for <TD> when the data exceeds certain amount. Does anybody has a solution for this?. If so, please post it the forum. Thanks in advance.

Karthik.

hi Karthick...

you can wedge a <div> between the <td> tags that contain the data.

the <div> will give you the scrolling capability that you need.

Hi Khaki,

I tried to doing the technique you suggested. But it does not produce a scrollbar. The text appended to the table <td> is scrolling to the next line. I don't want it be scrolled to the next line. I want to have a scroll bar where users can scroll and see the message. Is anything to do with <td width>?. The below is the same of what I tried.


<table>
<tr> <td><div> test </div></td></tr>
</table>

hi Karthi...

I'm not sure I understand you.
You don't want it to scroll, but you want the user to be able to scroll?
(are those mutually exclusive)
:confused:

well anyway...
this is what I was talking about (it scrolls withing a <td>).

let me know if you are looking for something different...
