Hello,i'm having trouble with the scroll bar missing on one of my pages on my
website. Can someone help with a solution?

Does the page actually need a scroll bar? If so, please post a link to
the page here. It is difficult to diagnose display problems without
seeing the complete page or code, including any CSS used.

Hello:
If you go to my website www.bigboytrainsandhobbies.com and go to the
shipping page you will see that you can't scroll the page down. The bar is
missing for some strange reason. The other pages have the scroll bar and work
ok. Just this one page. Thanks.

Change overflow: hidden; to overflow: auto; in several places in the
CSS. overflow: hidden; removes the scroll bars and hides any overflow
text. overflow: auto; (also used in the CSS on the page) adds scroll
bars where necessary.

I have found two lines in the code page where it has more than one overflow
hidden in the code lines 35 & 37 I did change only one overflow hidden to
overflow auto in line 35 and saved & refreshed. I went to my website to see
if scroll bar problem was corrected. The bar is on the page and seems to be
back to normal. Do I need to change the other overflow hidden one's as well
or leave well enough alone? Thanks,TM

Depends on the content of the container that second overflow refers to.
As it stands, if the content is too much for the container, the excess
will be hidden from the user. Don't forget that users can (and will)
change their font settings to use a larger text size (you, the page
author, can *suggest* text/font sizes, but you cannot enforce them), and
this will affect the content of any container containing text. I would
change this overflow reference as well.

Hello,I'm not quite understanding your post. Should I change all of the
overflow hidden words to overflow auto or would that screw things up? The
page seems to be ok now,but I only changed one of the overflow hidden words
to overflow auto in one of the two lines with those words. Thanks...TM
