A growing Table??

**bcinelli** · September 24th, 2004, 9:28 AM

Ok, I have a center table on www.dirtydalerz.com . Now it has a scroll bar in the middle of the page because the table runs on and on .. i was wondering if there is a way i can make it so the table just grows with the amount of stuff put in it. soo instead of scrolling it just grows longer and longer w/ the posts? Is this possible?

Why the devil is there a scrollbar on a table?
You must be using a width and height specified
DIV with OVERFLOW set on AUTO or an IFRAME.
Check to make sure there aren't either of those.
Once you're set, tables always expand on their
own.

Its a stupid iframe ...

maybe changing the height property on the iframe to something larger. I'm not too experienced in it.. but that's all I can think of without just taking the iframe out completely.

So your navigation links are targetting the IFrame?
Tough one. An IFrame will always scroll or always clip contents.

I suggest removing the IFrame.
You've got to recode your links to account for the targets.
If you know PHP, you could keep the same layout and use
includes to insert the page into your layout.

I'd do something like this -------------------------------

change <A HREF="something.php" TARGET="iframe"></A> to
<A HREF="?something" TARGET="_top"></A>

Replace <IFRAME></IFRAME> with
<?
$_GET['something'] ? include('something.php') : $skip = 1;
$_GET['somethingelse'] ? include('somethingelse.php') : $skip = 1;
?>
and so on where somethingelse is another link

Sure, blogger is very reliable and easy to use!
It is quite smart, and convenient as opposed to
scripting your own content system.
