I have designed a site: www.banacreative.com that uses a DIV
with
overflow scroll for the text content area. From a design
standpoint I
don't like endlessly scrolling pages filled with lots of
boring text, so
I have chosen to put the long text in a scroll DIV keeping
the design
intact. I have gotten some feedback that having two scroll
bars - one
for the HTML page, and one for the DIV - is confusing. I'm
therefore
looking for comments on this. Is this something to be avoided
in
general, or is this an acceptable solution?
TIA
Usability question: Iframe or DIV...
Hi Brett,
%26gt;I have gotten some feedback that having two scroll bars
- one
%26gt; for the HTML page, and one for the DIV - is confusing.
I'm therefore
%26gt; looking for comments on this.
That was exactly my thoughts... 2 places to scroll. How
inconvenient is
that :)
Is this something to be avoided in
%26gt; general, or is this an acceptable solution?
I think it's a bad idea. Scrolling up/down is IMO
OK/normal/acceptable/fine. Let the text flow.
%26gt;
%26gt; TIA

Usability question: Iframe or DIV...
I've created pages with both IFrames and scrolling divs. The
bottom scrollbar of the IFrame doesn't really scroll all that much
so it's not really an issue, and as on your site the bottom
scrollbar of the div is actually grayed out so it's not an issue at
all. It would be nice to get rid of it, but it's
nonfunctional.

just use any other browser than IE to get rid of it

you're talking some IE-Windows-specific-behavior described as
if it was something everybody saw...
In my browser (Safari) I get two scroll bars (page, and
scrolling area). The scroll bar of the
scrolling area is in part hidden, as it goes beyond my
browser window height.
So I have to scroll the page anyways, to see the whole of the
inner scrolling area. And that, is
very annoying.

Thanks to everyone who responded. Based on the small majority
of
negative comments, I'm going to re-design this to avoid using
the
overflow-scroll DIV's.
Good choice :)

The only site I use it for is our company intranet, which is
behind a firewall and only available to internal employees. We are
only allowed to use IE. If I were to download and install
FF/Opera/etc. I could get fired. Not worth it.....
Thanks Kim. Hey, where are you in Denmark?
