Horizontal scrolling in articles
-
Isn't that most annoying? (For practice, edit a web page in NotePad with Word Wrap turned OFF.) For every article in the latest C# update e-mail that I wanted to view, I had to scroll left-right to read every line in the article. In fact, even the page this message is being entered on requires horizontal scrolling. That puts a serious damper on my desire to read any of the articles. :( I run 1024x786 and maximize my browser. I prefer to keep my Favorites open on the left border of the browser, and it occupies 10-15% of the screen. One article I looked at today was wider than my screen even after I closed the Favorites bar. I gave up on that one and did not read it. Its value to me plummeted to zero. :mad: Of course, I could go to 1280x1024 (I think this monitor supports it) and the articles might fit, but then I wouldn't be able to read them because the characters would be too small. Still zero value. X| I see in the source for this page that at least one table width is specified at 100%, which should be scalable. Since it's not, I would guess that one of the files referenced in the standard page header is specifying a fixed width of over 1000 and preventing the rest of the page from scaling properly. Please take a look at what you can do about this. John Whitmire john.whitmire@madah.com

That is probably because the article author didn't comply with the guidelines. When the article gets edited, it should be okay if the editor picks up on it.

Nope - after the recent site update, some of the articles do scroll - it's a known issue. Regards, Nish
