Happy Easter to all! So I've done some fiddling with overflow : auto, and failed. My problem is (as far as I can see) that one has to specify a height for the div which has overflow:auto, and I don't know how to set the height to fill the viewport space under the menu. Normally I'd set it to 100%, but that gives me all kinds of problems. Firstly, if I pick the 'happy medium' of 1024 by 768 and give the div a height of 500px, it looks great. When I resize to 800 x 600 however, I get 2 vertical scrollbars - the one in the div and the one in the browser itself. So I set the overflow to hidden on the body, and that solved that, but what remains is still a clumsy looking mess.
The effect I'm after can be seen by going to: www.kernowproperties.co.uk and when you get in, select the 200k max link. You will see a long list of houses for sale. The list can be scrolled, whilst the menu on the left stays put. Great! However, my attempt ( which can be seen at: http://www.kernowproperties.fsnet.co.uk/propertydetails/noframes_200kmax.html ) shows my problem: I cannot set the height so that it makes good use of the viewport area - what fits in 800 x 600 looks ridiculous in 1240 by 1024. etc etc. OK, maybe I'm missing a trick here (do please tell me!) but if not, it looks as though this solution isn't one, after all. Your comments, suggestions and general help would be most welcome.
