I hadn't checked my guestbook in a month or so and when I did today I could not scroll vertically. The scroll bar is not functional.

Happens with SeaMonkey, Firefox, IE7, and Safari.

Any ideas where I should start?

Hi Ed,

First of all, it is not a problem of GBook.

But because i was intrigued and i have two weeks of christmas vacation, i looked at your page.

The problem is in the ahs.css (or default.css) file you use.
In the ahs.css you have (i use the ahs.css as example because it is called last, so this code will be used instead of default.css):

Code: Select all

#doc_header {
	background:  #e4dfd9 url(/Abington/Abiglogo_head.gif) repeat;
	color: #000;
	font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, Geneva, Sans-Serif;
	font-size: 90%;
	font-weight: normal;
	left: 0em;
	right: 0em;
	top: 0em;
	position: fixed;
	visibility: visible;
	width: 110%;
	z-index: 3;
	border-style: none none solid none;
	border-width: 0em 0em 0em 0em;
	border-color: #006600;
}

The problem is the

Code: Select all

position: fixed;

Because when i replace it with

Code: Select all

position: absolute;

the scroll bars are back (but the menu will not be on fixed top of page anymore).
Unfortunately i have no solution for that yet.
I might get back on you on this, because like i said, i am intrigued by it.

Greetings,
Henrie

I have found the error.

Open your header.txt file in the gbook folder
As last line enter:

Code: Select all

</div><!-- closing <div id="doc_header"> -->

Because the entire gbook code was in the <div id="doc_header"> it got the style position: fixed. And that is exactly what it did, it was fixed on the page.
