How do you get a scroll effect without having to use a scroll box?
I know how to make a scroll box, but how do you get the effect that the bottom of the page is endless? a good example is DU, the way you can scroll down with the scroll bar on the right. Or is that the answer? Does it require web software that makes the page one big scroll box?

(22,997 posts)The scroll bar only appears here (like most web pages) when the page content exceeds the height of the browser window, unless special rules have been applied to the overflowing page element.
Could you explain the effect you're going for a little more and say what browser you're using?

(22,997 posts)I think the software is likely just confusing.
The 1024 x 764 setting might be just a view setting in the working space to give you a hint at how a page might look in a browser window of those dimensions.
If you add enough content to the page, scrollbars automatically appear when you view the "finished" page in a web browser.
Try pasting this 10 times into a page you're working on in Web Easy and see what happens when you view it in a web browser:
If the inverting-core acceptor deflects the complex chronotron-feedback analysis, try to provoke a coil-composition reflex and several quantum biosphere resonances, this will create a restricted isovolumic cochrane graviton-prediction, which ought to in fact dampen the polarizing maintenance-filament formulas. Then attempt a minimum abstract component-delay correction phase to input a reversible lucifugal primary ionization perimeter operation to cancel the celestial info-sphere greenhouse effect level-limits. As you are doing this, set in motion six homeostasis global-attractors from the constant chemical cybernetic-induction elliptical-beam, this will dislodge a krypton placebo-molecule from the kinetic synthesis-accelerator, as a consequence affect the electromagnetic fiber-feedback engineering fractal controls, enhancing the parallel decaying energy diffusion force. Now turn on the hypothetical cryogenic quadrant energy matrix and logistical passive inducers to absorb the decayed ardamantium alignment chronicle containment-conduit effects. As you must have deduced by now, this will redirect the xanthous laser alignments authorization breach causing a zonifugal antimatter breakthrough in the enhanced chaotic krell-dechyon diodes.

With HTML the length of the page is theoretically unlimited. You could paste the Oxford Dictionary between the body tags and the page would just automatically resize, lengthways, to accommodate it. Obviously you would want to constrain the width as no-one like scrolling sideways. HTML in the wild runs endlessly down the left hand side of the page unless you box it up in some way.
The browser handles placement of the scroll bars when the page is longer than the browser window. If you are using CSS, make your content div length Auto - it will grow to accommodate whatever you place in it.
