Scrolling Issue:

Report · Jul 26, 2023

When I open the HTML file in the browser, the webpage does not scroll, and it appears to be limited to a single screen height. As a result, I cannot access the content beyond the visible screen area. I have checked the CSS for any conflicting settings, but I couldn't identify the cause. Is there any specific setting or property that could be causing this issue?

Report · Jul 26, 2023

It's probably as a result of you setting a height on a container within the html. Without seeing the html code and css it's guess work.

By @Eliass31295466029u

That would probably account for one of the sections being positioned absolutely instead of within the flow of the html. If you care to provide the code in the forum or a link to the affected page someone will most likely be able to give you some guidance.

Any height setting paired with overflow:hidden in the CSS will take away scroll bars.

I see absolute links to files on your hard drive in your code. That is almost always a sign that you are not working from a Defined Site in the program.

Defining a site is the crucial first step when working in DW and allows the program to correctly manage your site assets. Without it, you will run into all kinds of problems.

Even for html emails, one off newsletter pages and the like, defining a site will make DW work better...

Adding to what @Jon Fritz said, this link path is incorrectly expressed and it contains illegal spaces.

This code will work on one device & one device only— YOUR computer. If you upload this code to a website server or send it via email, nobody will ever see the images

The correct expression should be <img src="Website_ProjeX/Home/ig_212.png"> Without spaces

Go to Site > New Site and define a local site folder. See screenshot.

@Eliass31295466029u.

DO NOT use absolute positioning in primary layouts. Absolute positioning isn't condusive to responsive, flexible pages that will work on multiple devices and screen sizes. This is what's preventing you from creating new page sections.

My advice is as follows:

1. Start over with a pre-styled responsive Starter Template in Dreamweaver.

2. After defining your site (mentioned above), go to File > New > Starter Templates > Bootstrap Templates.

3. Select a layout from the 3rd column and hit CREATE button.

4. SaveAs index.html.

This will give you a good starting point that you can work with. And it will work in all devices and browsers.

Post back if you have any questions.

@Nancy OShea you should probably hook your feedback to the approriate thread, just above, where positionning is the subjct (aboslute positionning), here in this second part it can drive to confusion about what post @L e n a just below, concerning absolulte path for the image path, and complete your first answer (which has nothing to do with positioning).

in fact, since the entire conversation is made up of two distinct and separate parts, one dealing with positioning and the other with the paths linking resources...since both use the word "absolute", it would have been appropriate to quote the question your text was addressing.

But as I said, it was just a two-cent remark, thinking that your expertise would have helped you grasp it.

Yeah, question was about positioning elements not about if the path links to the images were correct or not.........hmmm. l thought it was me. Sure its helpful to address other issues, of which there are many in the code, but answering the main query is more relevant.

By @Nancy OShea

Not quite correct. You CAN use absolute positioning, the key is knowing when to use it. The positioning of the logo in the supplied code from the OP is a prime example of when absolute positioning can be of benefit, although it would have been more applicable to position the hero section relatively, as the logo div is contained within that.

By @osgood_

=========

The logo is the least concern. It's just eye candy. The deeper concern is with the Sidebar-- a primary structural layout element. Positioning is not required for layouts. One can easily avoid them with CSS grids or flexible boxes (which Bootstrap utilizes in it's 12 box system).

That said, there are exceptions to 'rules of thumb' in special use cases. But for beginners who are just starting out, I would advise against using positioned elements until the problems they cause & how best to mitigate them are more fully understood.

I'm not here to teach a fundamental web design course. There are plenty of online tutorials they can do at their own pace which will provide that. As a Dreamweaver product expert, I am here to help users solve problems and offer them immediate solutions they can use.

TUTORIALS:

==========
Read chapters, do code exercises and take quizzes at the end.

A logo is just eye-candy.............I would regard it as a fundamentally important element myself but then what do I know. I guess 40+ years in visual design taught me nothing.

I use position absolute all the time for positioning key elements.....so to disrgard it would be a fatal mistake in my opinion. It got a bad reputation, particularly within Dreamweaver, because amatuer users abused it by draging boxes into place, which is not how it should be used. Once you know when and how to deploy position absolute it can be a perfect option in certain circumstances.

I'm just saying that position absolute shouldn't be discarded whether you're an expert coder or beginner, it has a role to play just like anything else. I believe l'm correct in saying even Bootstrap, that workflow you use for creating a mess, has a utility class for position absolute, right, or am l wrong?
