posting code scroll boxes

[MDCRL]

Stupid question - but how do I post

Code: Select all

to get the scroll box vs. it filling up an entire page of thread

Thanks

When framing a post, highlight the text you want in the code box and Hit the Code button.

Thank You....

what does using the forum button do differently vs. manually wrapping

Code: Select all

around desired text ?

I noticed it is no different, but changes it to show as a scroll instead - just curious how that works...

I get the scroll boxes by typing the code tags manually

[MDCRL]

hmm.... I just tried it again -manually, and it worked this time
- the reason I asked is cuz I couldn't get it to work before
- I even made sure no typo's and such and all code was closed and correct - oh well works now - that's all that matters

Thanks again....

The code tags don't do anything unless you put something between them. Thats why there's no box in your first post.

I was just using that as an example - not trying to create 1 in 1st post
- referring to why I wasn't gettin a scroll in my other posts vs. just a big white box

- when I initially posted in GPU threads the other day - it would not create scroll...
just confused why it didn't at first when I manually entered the same code that the forum's "code" button inserted - I got a differrent result
- not to worry - it's not a problem - just curious if something else was inserted in the code that made it work

- it's working now so no worries - It's all good!

Is there a problem with the code tags, as none of them seem to be scrollable these days, but are displaying the full content (or is it a function of my browser?)?

They're working fine here ...

What browser do you use

Same problem here.

[Xilikon]

Same here, IE6 at work but I'm not blaming the IT (I'm the IT) but the dumb programmers who cannot make the house web apps work with IE7.

At home, I see scrolling bars but at work, all I get is fat block of logs

Thus why I have used FF for years....
