ANSWER (RE: scrolling form areas/CSS integration with position & overflow?)

My problem was that my Tapestry template had a <span jwcid="$content">  element that did not contain the html <head> element, and I defined the "overflow" attribut for the <div> element in the <head> element.
 
I moved the <span jwcid="$content$"> element so that it encompassed the <head> element (in which my <script> element resides), and bingo! life is good.
 
Since I'm including everything in the page anyhow, simply deleting the <span jwcid="$content$"> element works for me, too.
 
In summary -- if your Tapestry app needs fancy CSS stuff, HTML "just works", without the need to include the Shell or Script components.  You must, however, insure that the <span jwcid="$content$"> element, if present, includes the CSS elements.

Hi Bob,

This solution works on HTML level, it has nothing to do with Tapestry or any
other framework, it doesn't require any integration.

... what do you mean it was ignored?

I inserted


div 
{
background-color:#00FFFF;
width:150px;
height:150px;
overflow: scroll
}


within the scope of the tag of a Tapestry template, and then in the of the template I bracketed a section within a tag with:



added div







The only discernable effect was the display of "added div" on the page.

Should I be using the component?

By the way -- I'm at Tapestry 2.3.

Subject: scrolling form areas/CSS integration with position & overflow?

I'd like to have a scrolling form area on a page, with navigation & control
buttons always visible to the user. Using frames for this could be a real
headache, so I was hoping that perhaps a CSS feature might be useful, such
as the approach demonstrated at

http://www.w3schools.com/css/tryit.asp?filename=trycss_overflow

I slapped the CSS stuff from the above example into a Tapestry template, but
it was ignored.

Is there a way to integrate CSS positioning with overflow in Tapestry -- or
is there a better approach to implement a scrolling area that contains text
boxes, buttons, etc.?

Thanks,

Bob
