Why use cfpod at all? a <div> would have done the job

Actually that's a good tip - must make a note.
This ...
<div class="code" style="height: 300px; width: 500;">
... will give you a nice scrollable div that you can even embed in a BlogCFC post.

@Raul - Yeah, I did say it was probably easy CSS.... if you know CSS. ;)

@Rob - Thanks!

Nice usage. Every tag has its day!

That's a good bit of CSS to know. I'm so cf driven that I sometimes forget what's already out there. Cool trick @Rob.

I still think that cfpods and cflayouts have their uses and I use them in real live projects on a semi regular basis.

@Rob

Don't want to step on any toes, but actually your CSS code would not produce a scrollable DIV since the overflow text would be visible and not contained within the DIV. This is because a DIV without the "overflow" style applied will inherently display it's full contents.

Since others were using your code, I thought I would post a modified version of your code to create a scrollable DIV.

<div class="code" style="height: 300px; width: 500px; overflow:auto;">

</div>

Obviously you would put the style information in a class and just add it to the DIV, something like:
.scrollable {
overflow: auto;
}
then on the DIV you add the class:
<div class="code scrollable">...</div>

Hi Jeff,

Sorry if I wasn't clear. The standard stylesheet that comes with BlogCFC has a class called "code" which already has those attributes, so unless you have changed that, it should work as I described.

Cheers,

Hello Rob,

My apologies then. I did not know that those styles were already applied. Guess I should have looked deeper first.

Please tell me that I'm not the only one with Friday-itis... I tried to grab the scrollbar handle in Ray's example and drag it. I must have tried ten times until it dawned on me that it was an image and not an embedded table.

<sigh> Must...have...beer (or sleep...interchangeable at this point)

I did that trick just for you. ;)

but now here is the problem. Let's say you have a search form on the page outside the pod. Inside the pod is the results of the search. The search results are huge so you don't want to scroll forever and decide to paginate. Using the javascript:Coldfusion.Navigate to move through the pages keeping the page number in the url.
BUT when it loads up again the form is in there twice. How do you stop it from doing that?

I'd have to see your code. If you decide to share it, use a service like Pastebin.
