When Jesus is talking to the disciples in this setting—He is talking to them
post (after) crucifixion.Not to be too patronising to your audience or anything, eh? :)

I see no bottom scrollbar, but that text would look much better justified.

[benslayton]

In I.E. it there is a bottom scrollbar, but not in F.F. and what do you mean by

patronising?

[Twey]

Explaining the meaning of "post" :)

[benslayton]

Oh, my Sunday School Teacher Typed Up the whole thing for our class. I think it'll be Ok.

so do u know anything about that scrollbar?
:)

I don't see a scrollbar in IE 5 for mac, Safari, or mozilla for mac.

Why is there some much blank space at the bottom of the iframe?

[benslayton]

there is a bottom scrollbar in Internet Explorer 6 for windows??? I only would like the side scrollbar? Is there a Side one?

I thought I changed all that space?

[djr33]

there's a scrollbar on the side, yes. i meant there wasn't one on the bottom.
not sure about IE6 for windows.

space... dunno... there's a lot of extra when you scroll down all the way.


EDIT: I don't use IE 6 on my pc because it's massively screwed up, but I just tried your page... yeah, there's a scrollbar.... weird. Not sure why that happens.

And, the space is there as well... doesn't appear to be browser dependant... there in all of them.

[benslayton]

Oh ok I didnt refresh my browser, but yea there is. I tried to fix it. I took out all the space I could but its still there for some reason. U Know Why?

Edit: Check the Source code.

[djr33]

there's a table at the end... maybe that's holding some extra space... I dunno.

[benslayton]

Ok it now looks good in IE no space how bout your browsers.

[djr33]

yep. that's fine.



now you need to find the thing that is holding is wider than the dimensions of the iframe. It is definitely in the iframe page, not the main page.
the scrollbars appear when the content of that page is bigger than the iframe allows.

you have a javascript window resizing script there... could that be it? looks like its only for netscape, though.

take it out... doesn't help, certainly.


Ah, near the top, you've got a table, width="447"... take that out, just in case... it's not doing much good, I don't think. might not be it, though.

that table is also never closed... that might be causing the weird issues. at the end of your page, you have:
...</tr>
</div>
</body>
</html>

[benslayton]

Ok still dont work.
Twey, Just noticed somethin, I cant right click on the page now I can on other ones just not this one. Weird Eh.

[djr33]

Twey, Just noticed somethin, I cant right click on the page now I can on other ones just not this one. Weird Eh.
Wait... what?

[benslayton]

Same thing happen to you? Crazy Right.:eek: :eek:
So what bout the scrollbar?

[djr33]

no... I don't think the same thing happened. I don't understand what you're saying.
which link, which part of the page... i'm lost...

[benslayton]

In IE for Windows It just doesnt let me right click. No clue, Im not really worried about that. Just wanna fix the scrollbar at the bottom.

Is there a script to just disable the bottom one?

[djr33]

ah.... that's strange.
(EDIT: IE 6 let's me right click... weird)

well.. yes/no... but it's a bad idea.

I believe that you can set a property of the iframe to scrolling="no"... might need to be using css, though. i don't remember.
However... that would stop the vertical bar too... maybe you can use css to specify... I think that might be possible.

however, it's an error in your page, not an error displaying the scrollbar. if you disable it, the content will be cut off on the edge.

it's only like 10-20 px. any reason you can't just make the iframe a bit wider?

[benslayton]

Ok now I can right click, but what if I set scrolling to No and we got a code to make the side scrollbar show up only?

[djr33]

maybe.... just seems rediculous. fix your page.. don't shortcut. something will show through, and give you problems.

[benslayton]

look Ive tried makein it bigger just to show you I have made it "1000" check it out.

[djr33]

Ok. Ew.

Yeah, try to disable taht... I dunno what's up. Sorry.

Still might be your page... maybe you have something in there that is based on percent or somehing... I dunno. Maybe that script?

[benslayton]

Ok well the scrollbar is going to be a big problem so I will just forget about it. at least it works right in the others.

[djr33]

Yeah. it's not hurting anything.

I'm really unsure of why it's there.

Maybe someone else will know.
