A number of blogs incorporate scrolling blocks of text in their blog posts. This helps keep things organized and neat in the post.

The last time I needed to do this I used JavaScript, but since a lot of users turn scripting off for security reasons, I looked around and found a way to do it with good old CSS.

<div style="overflow:auto; height: 200px; width: 300px;>
<p>Some text to scroll around with.</p>
</div>

See it in action below:

        Dim oInboxAgenda As WFXTENDERLib.WfxAgenda

        Try

            ' Navigate to the Inbox for the Initial Routing Workflow user

            oInboxAgenda = oWFXConnection.Agenda(WORKBOX_TYPE_CLOSED)

            'Clear previous filters

            oInboxAgenda.SetFilter("", "", "")

            oInboxAgenda.SetFilter("Business Process", "=", "Initial Routing Workflow")

            'Refresh data so filter is applied

            oInboxAgenda.Refresh()

            Return oInboxAgenda.Count

        Catch eX As System.Exception

            MsgBox(eX.ToString)

        Finally

            System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComObject(oInboxAgenda)

            oInboxAgenda = Nothing

        End Try

    End Function

So in a nutshell, a simple DIV and some CSS goes a long way. An added benefit is that this simple tag is supported on almost every browser.

I am still trying to figure out other ways to do this, I would prefer not having to hack the html view of my posts each time. But this works for now.

I downloaded and installed IE7 on the day it was released. And have been fairly pleased with it overall. I still tend to use Firefox as my default and main browser, but that may change.

One thing I have noticed of late, as soon as I get 4 – 6 tabs open in IE the CPU usage pegs, Memory use skyrockets and then the browser becomes non-responsive.

This was not the case following the initial installation, and I have added some toolbars, including the beta version of Yahoo’s new toolbar, so I suspect that the issue is a conflict.

If anyone knows of anything that could be causing this behavior please do let me know. And if I solve it I will post an update here.

Cheers,
