Hi Folks

Hope you can help

I have the following design done up but whenever I shrink the page It does'nt show up scrollbars,
http://www.omegamediadesign.com/Willie/index.php
http://www.omegamediadesign.com/Willie/style1.css

I've tried everything I can think of to no success. I've changed overflow:scroll but it's not helping

any help would be great

Hi Omega, you have overflow:hidden; on a number of elements and this will stop scrollbars appearing. I didn't look in depth into the page but I'd say you need overflow:hidden for the carousel but that styling is being applied to a number of elements in the page. If you use Firefox, install the Firebug addon and inspect the page you'll see what I mean.

Thanks for the reply

I have commented out all overflow in the style sheet but still there is no scrollbar, I removed the stylesheet from the page and the scrollbars are there so it has to be something within that style1.css thats causing the problem.

To try I remove the footer.php which contained the carousel and it didnt help so dont think its that.

Its getting annoying :$

That's a lot of messy code for such a simple design.

It looks like a combination of overflow hidden and absolute positioning.

As smash said above, a layout like that could be done in a much cleaner way. makes debugging a whole lot easier too.
