Hello,

i'm using DNN 3.2.2 and i'm developing a new skin. I've tried everything to get an overflow of the contentpane, so only a central textpart scrolls. Without succes. Can somebody look at the code and has someone the solution for this problem? Beneath the style of the contentpane and the .ascx-file.

skin.css:

.contentpane {
width:100%;
height:100%;
margin:0;
overflow:scroll;
background-image: url("slices_0002/gemo_r5_c6.png");
background-repeat:repeat-y;}

I created a site a while ago - and it was fixed in the centre of the screen  - like a postcard site - It was a completely tableless skin but I wasn't 100% happy with the behaviour cross browser so added a couple of adjustments to it.

This is the way the content pane was laid out in the page and the css code that held it together.

in the ascx file -
<div class="contentpane"><div id="ContentPane" runat="server" visible="false"></div></div>

in the CSS file -

div.contentpane {
position: absolute;
top: 50px;
left: 230px;
width: 450px;
height: 400px;
text-align: left;
border: #ffffff 1px solid;
background-color: #3f4543;
padding: 5px;
overflow: auto;
scrollbar-face-color:#3f4543;
scrollbar-arrow-color:#ffffff;
scrollbar-track-color:#3f4543;
scrollbar-shadow-color:#000000;
scrollbar-highlight-color:#000000;
scrollbar-3dlight-color:#535957;
scrollbar-darkshadow-color:#2d3331;
}

You would still be required to tweak it further, but this is an example one that works, and I've included the scrollbar attributes which are not necessarily cross browser compatible.

Hope this helps you get pointed in the right direction.  Peter was correct - you can't have 100% in your pane because it will force the pane to stretch to full height of browser page.

Ivo,
I don't want to temper your enthousiam or learning experience, but why do you want to design a tableless skin. Please keep in mind that a number of modules have talbes in their control .aspx files also the standard solpartmenu is full of tables. So tableless is a very big word in the DNN world. I don't say you can't but are you doing it for the right reasons...

Peter
