Javascript internal scroll area with extra white space below content
Hello all!
I'm having issues with a lot of extra white space after the intended content on multiple pages in my site. I am using a javascript/css internal scrollbar. It seems to be a problem with IE6, possibly IE7, Mozzilla,...
(Looks great in Firefox 3.0.7 on my Mac, of coarse!)
I have racked my brain and tried a thousand different "fixes", but still can't fix the problem.
The site's URL + a few of the problem pages is
http://www.blueskydecor.com/holiday_exteriors.html
http://www.blueskydecor.com/tree_lighting.html
http://www.blueskydecor.com/pole_decorations.html
I would appreciate any feedback, whether it is just an intuitive guess or a known fix.
Thanks!

Hi and welcome to TWF!
I love Dynamic Drive scripts but I have noticed that they often add whitespace in IE - has to do with the hidden content when the page loads.
I have addressed it by loading the content of your scrolling area with JavaScript.
Works for me - see attached file.
Question: why scroll there? (unless you are adding alot more content...)
Another technique could be placing the content in a JavaScript file, giving it a variable name:
var mydiv='<a href="Images/holiday_exteriors_01_2.jpg" rel="lightbox[roadtrip]"/><img src="Images/holiday_exteriors_01.jpg" width="355" height="243" alt="Holiday Exteriors, Pole Decorations" /><img src="Images/break.jpg" width="670" height="1" alt="break" /></a>';etc.
(BTW it also looks like you do not close the anchors with a
</a>tag - your links will work better if you fix that)- then you can load the js file and assign the
document.getElementById('scontent').innerHTML=mydiv;kellwillweb posted this at 18:09 — 2nd April 2009.

Thank you! It turns out the only thing I needed to do was fix the
<a href>parsing error. After that, everything else fell into place. Guess I've spent too much time on this project, because I can't seem to see the obvious anymore.Thanks again for your quick response!
