I have a web tree in a fairly complex context that allows drag and drop.
This shares a DIV with a context menu (which can be activated by right-clicking on a node) inside a form that is 100% sized, scroll auto.
When the tree is too large for the form, we get a scroll bar as I intended.
Unfortunately:
On IE6, when you drag a node towards the bottom of the form, scrolling occurs automatically and you can drag things all the way to the bottom.
On IE8, you can drag things to the bottom of the current display, but no scrolling occurs. Why the difference, and how can I overcome it?
Hello jensfiederer,
Probably you will have to add additionl styles to the page. Could you try to add:
body { overflow-y: scroll; }
Please check the online Drag & Drop samples: Multi Tree Sample and Drag and Drop Client eventsThese samples have vertical scrollbar under IE8
The problem is not that I am not getting a scrollbar - I am.
The problem is that I would have to use it. Under IE6 the scrolling happens automatically when the object I drag is moved near the bottom of the area. Under IE8, it does not - and since I am dragging an object I can't use the scrollbar (although a mouse with a wheel works).
