it's not a mod at all but it's style trick.

for those who are using CSS, using

pre {overflow-x:auto;width:500px;}

for pre tags can make things easier.

500px means that it won't be longer than 500px, if it's longer than 500px, a horizontal scrolling just for pre tags.

Unfortunatly just changing the .css won't fix a problem that I see after implementing it.

Sure you get a horizontal scroll bar, but the text that caused the scroll bar to appear isn't viewable.

Here's an example on one of my forums.

This is what is between [.code] and [./code]


Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80004005' [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] The field 'FORUM_MY_CONFIG.THEME_ID' cannot contain a Null value because the Required property for this field is set to True. Enter a value in this field. /forum/my_edit_config.asp, line 91

But if you make a slight change to the .css:

pre {overflow-x:auto;width:500px; height:auto;}

Then it works.

Hi blackinwhite!

This looks great! - but where do I put this piece of code ? - I have tryed in the style-tags of inc_top.asp but without any results. Could you give an example ?

I use stylesheets, and it works fine for me.

I don't have any demo on the net, but this screenshot can give you an idea.

well, you can add this directly in your inc_top.asp like so:


<style>
pre {overflow-x:auto;width:500px;}
</style>

or edit your inc_functions.asp like this:


fString = replace(fString, "<pre style='overflow-x:auto;width:500px; height:auto' id=code><font face=courier size=" & strDefaultFontSize & " id=code>","[ code]", 1, -1, 1)


fString = doCode(fString, "[ code]", "[ /code]", "<pre style='overflow-x:auto;width:500px; height:auto' id=code><font face=courier size=" & strDefaultFontSize & " id=code>", "</font id=code></pre id=code>")

I haven't tested this though but it should work...

Thanks for your help. But still nothing here that works. Its not my browser becaurse I see it work at the link:

http://www.journaldesigns.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=16

I have tryed for both pictures and text but it all just runs wide. I have also tryed to edit the inc_functions.asp like dayve suggested in his posting. And both places at the same time - nothing happens! - what am I doing wrong, or does anybody else have this problem also ?

Try "pre {overflow-x:auto; width:500px; height:auto}" instead, perhaps? You may not need the final semicolon...
