RH8.0.2 HTML.

Hi all, wondering if anyone has a fix for the horizontal scroll bar that popups up in my search pane for webhelp.

I've gone to great lengths to get my help in the right sized window with no horizontal scroll bars - they annoy me soooo much.

But now, and always I have noticed, they appear in the search pane when results are displayed. No matter how far i widen it they do not go away.

Is there some work aorund for this?

Thanks.

Nick

Hi,

You can add a css rule overflow-x: auto; -- This should only show the scrollbars when the content is too small.

Add it in a style block in top of the culprit HTML-file. Let me know if that works.

Its not an html file thats the problem, its the actual search pane that displays results on the left hand side. The list of topics, and rank, this area no matter what always has a horizontal scroll bar.

perhaps there is somewhere to specify the column widths within his pane, like how you can set the width of the TOC

Doh... Didn't think of that...

Try adding the style block in whfbody.htm, just before the head tag. Setting it in the parent will not work for the child pages.
