Manufacturers Sidebox Scrolling Option

Hi,

I have two Manufacturers lists. The main one I have positioned in my navbar as a dropdown via admin setting it to 1.

I would like to add a scrollbar to the other manufacturers sidebox I use in my left column though. How would I go about this please?

Ahhh, ok sorry for the misunderstanding. I didn't mean scrolling, I meant with a scroll bar :-)

Use CSS;
#manufacturerslistContent ul {
height:400px;
list-style-image:none;
list-style-position:outside;
list-style-type:circle;
margin-left:35px;
margin-top:0;
overflow:scroll;
padding:0;
}

Re: Manufacturers Sidebox Scrolling Option

That's the one I was looking for, overflow... Thanks Steve :-)

Just two things though.

  1. How would I make the scrollbar appear on the left side of the box?
  2. How would I remove the scrollbar from the bottom of the box?

Re: Manufacturers Sidebox Scrolling Option

hmmmmmm I managed to remove the bottom scrollbar by adding overflow-x:hidden;

However, from what I've been reading on Google, the only way to make the scrollbar appear on the left of the sidebox is to turn my monitor upside-down :-)

Is it true then that the scrollbar will only go on the right?

Re: Manufacturers Sidebox Scrolling Option

LOL! upside down monitor!

Yeah, the scroll bars will only go on the right and bottom... may be it could be "hacked" with some nifty javascript... not a project that I want to tackle...

Re: Manufacturers Sidebox Scrolling Option

Yeah, tried standing on my head too, which works :wacko: but makes my site look a little topsy turvy...

I read into the javascript option an hour ago and I don't know what makes my head spin more, standing on it or trying to understand that! I don't blame you for not wanting to dive into a project like that :-)
