Here is the website. Do you see about half way down they have a list of video testimonials that have their own scroll bar? How can a person replicate that? Thanks! |

Put the movies in a DIV. Give it a width, a hight and 'overflow: auto'.

You're welcome. Post again if it doesn't work out.
Just wanted to add that you don't need to use DIV to create scrollbars. CSS can do it with any block level element. But in this case DIV is the most suitable, HTML-wise. Wanted to explain this, because DIV is often used in examples when CSS tricks are demonstrated and many people get the impression it's the DIV that's magic when it's really utterly unimportant. Could be a P, a H1, whatever. Only that wouldn't be suitable here. |

In positioning it's auto on height, width, and overflow. Here is the URL: http://www.clientattraction.com/clientattractionwiab/ |

No, auto width and hight won't work. If width and height aren't limited, there won't be anything that can overflow because the box will expand to accommodate its content. You don't have to use px if you don't want to. Other units like em and % will work also, but you must make sure the box is too small to hold what you put in it. Like a bucket filled with water. If the bucket grew larger the more water you poured into it, the water would never run over. Makes sense?
Maybe I should add that "natural" limitations work too. For example if you have a box that runs the full width of the browser window (or is jammed in by other boxes on the sides), you only need to limit its hight explicitly. Point is, the scrollbar appears first when there's nowhere for the content to go. HTML ... <body> <div style="height: 100px; overflow: auto"> #PUT LOTS OF TEXT HERE# </div> </body> </html> |

Oops! You're too quick for me. I added a bit above. Don't want to misguide you.

Ok so how about this problem. In safari the code looks like *beep*. Everything is fine in IE and FF. Any suggestions?

Validate your HTML (links on this page) and the CSS too (at http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/).

The page now *looks* fixed in Safari, but there are still html and CSS errors.
Let ALA's Flash Satay be your friend. |
