hello!

Im still developing my website and i need an assistance here.

im using a table for my website and i want all the cell size to be fixed so that it synchronise will all the other pages. But for the main contents area, sometimes the contents use up more lines than it was supposed to be and this will make the cell's getting longer and longer and so, disrupt the design. So, im wondering how can i make the cell to have the "scroll bar"(if that's what you call it)? You know, like the one you see to the right of your internet explorer.

HazmiFie,

With a little bit of CSS you can accomplish this. The link below is to w3schools.com explanation of using the overflow property. It's pretty straight forward, but if you have any problems with it let us know.

CSS Overflow Property

The Try-It-Yourself Demos are great on playing around with the different overflow options like scroll, auto, and hidden. Gives you a good idea of what each does.
