div tags with scroll bars

[tet3828]

I thought I posted this topic a sec ago maybe a mod removed it or something? I don't know.

anyway I am trying to get  the code within my div tags to display in a windowed area with vertical scroll bars. my current tags aren't working for some reason. Maybe they are the incorrect tags. Please help. I commented the line of code where I put the alledged div tags.

[code]
echo "<DIV id=\"scroll3\" style=\"width:500;height:350;overflow:auto; border: 1px solid\"><p><center>";   \\non-working div tags whats the problem?
echo "<table border=3>\n"
."<tr>\n"
."<th>Item Picture</th>\n"
."<th>Name</th>\n"
."<th>ID #</th>\n"
."<th>Catagory</th>\n"
."<th>Price</th>\n"
."<th>Edit Link</th>\n"
."</tr>\n";

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
echo "<tr>\n"
."<td><center><img src=\"".$row['itemSmall']."\" height=\"75\" width=\"75\"  /></center></td>\n"
."<td>".$row['itemName']."</td>\n"
."<td>".$row['itemId']."</td>\n"
."<td>".$row['itemCat']."</td>\n"
."<td>".$row['itemPrice']."</td>\n"
."<td><a href=/shell/data/edit.php?id=".$row['itemId']." />Edit This Item</td>\n"
."</tr>\n";
}

echo "</table>\n";
}
echo "</center></center></p></DIV>";  \\\This should close the windowed area

?>
[/code]

I think it's pretty doubtful that within seconds of you posting a thread, a mod (or anyone else) would come in and move a thread--pretty far out odds.  However, I think they'd have been right to do so.  What you're asking about is not a PHP question.  It's an HTML/CSS question.  Just because you created the HTML/CSS using PHP echo statements, doesn't make it a PHP question.

Now that being said, I do NOT know the answer to your question.

Yes, HTML?CSS question!  ahem...  ;)

I copied your code (minus the div contents) and it worked fine on IE and FireFox.  I fear your problem lies elsewhere, unless of course you have actually included those comments?  It's //, not \\.
