hello,

 I'm having a problem getting a scrolling div (overflow:auto) to work in internet explorer with a checkboxlist in it.

When the I get more items in my checkboxlist then the height of my DIV I do get the scrollbar, but the listitems extend

down through the border of the DIV. So basically the scrollbar has no function.

Everything works fine in firefox which makes it even more strange.

I'm clueless now, any help is appreciated :)

 Use overflow:scroll instead of overflow:auto, also make sure that you set a fixed height for the div, so try: style="overflow:scroll;height:300px;width:300px;"

Hello,

thx for replying cameron, I had tried all that before. The main reason I used auto was

to easily avoid the horizontal scrollbar. Tried overflow-y etc, no luck there too :/

Basically this is what I get :

When I pull the scrollbar down the items don't move up.

Everything works fine in firefox but not in IE. 

Strange stuff :s

Check your CSS styles.. maybe you have set Absolute position for your CBL..

Anyways, this works for me

<div style="width:100px; height:50px; overflow:auto">
        <asp:CheckBoxList ID="CheckBoxList1" runat="server">
        <asp:ListItem>A</asp:ListItem>
        <asp:ListItem>B</asp:ListItem>
        <asp:ListItem>C</asp:ListItem>
        <asp:ListItem>D</asp:ListItem>
        <asp:ListItem>E</asp:ListItem>
        <asp:ListItem>F</asp:ListItem>
        </asp:CheckBoxList>
</div>

 Okay solved, I got a position relative on a parent div defined as #name table :/, apparently scrolling kept from working in IE then.

Thx for the tip.

 Great! :)
