Date: 2009feb27 Platform: web Warning: This option has changed Q. I am using overflow: -moz-scrollbars-vertical; but Firefox is not displaying a vertical scrollbar. Why? A. It seems that with the regular Windows XP theme it does not display the scroll bar when the textarea has 2 rows. This is not a problem when using Windows Classic theme. The solution is to make the font a bit bigger.

<style> textarea { overflow: -moz-scrollbars-vertical; overflow-y: scroll; } </style> <textarea cols=40 rows=2 style="font-size:13px">Has NO scrollbar in Windows XP theme</textarea> <textarea cols=40 rows=2 style="font-size:14px">Has scrollbar in Windows XP theme</textarea>
