Scroll bars don't appear on Droid or IPad...

So I have a div on my webpage that has the Positioning -> Overflow set to Auto so that a scroll bar appears when the text overflows...the scroll bars work fine in Mozilla and IE, but when the site is viewed on a Droid or IPad, the scroll bars to not appear and the content in the div is simply cut off. Has anyone dealt with or seen this issue before? And are there any fixes? Thanks for any help in advance!
Also, is there a way to preview droid and ipad sites in Dreamweaver? Is there a download or add-on that will make those an option in Device Central??

Hi
First as I have previously said you never use floats on a page for mobiles.
The scroll bar you mention does not appear on mobile devices because if it did it would be totally unusable for almost everyone, (this is common on all mobile browsers).
Designing for mobiles requires a completely different approach than designing for a standard desktop browser, as one must remember that such things as the scroll-bar you mention would not have the required 'area' to be used by touch-screens or any way of getting focus in order to be used by a d-pad.
Even though media-queries are not recognized by older none smart-phone devices, their use would enable you to 'style' your content in order for viewing and usability on mobiles. Another example is that your main menu, (and entire home page) is virtually unusable without using zoom, (something many will not do) even on the Opera mobile browser, (the most popular browser in use for mobiles).
People use mobile devices 'on-the-move' even when browsing web sites, this means that in general only one hand is used, and the time taken to navigate is much more important than on a desktop, (were the user can use a mouse) thus the reluctance to use the zoom facility.

  • Scroll bar does not appear in some PDF files. How can I enable it?

    Scroll bar does not appear in some PDF files. How can I enable it?

    Scroll bars are supposed to appear when needed.
    For example, scroll bars will appear when you zoom in on a page.
    FAQ: How to zoom in/out on a page
    Windows 8 automatically hides scroll bars after a few seconds of inactivity.  Scroll bars will reappear when you touch the screen and move your finger (on a Touch-enabled device) or move your mouse.
    Additionally, page navigation depends on the view mode (Single Page vs. Continuous Page).
    In the Single Page mode, you can swipe left/right (horizontally) or click the left/right arrow button with your mouse to go to the previous/next page.
    In the Continuous Page mode, you can swipe or scroll up/down (vertically) to go to the previous/next page.

  • Vertical Scroll bar does not appear in table control

    Hi ,
    I have a table control with both vertical and horizontal scroll bars.
    The data which comes is always more than 50 and the visible line size is 8.The vertical scroll bar
    does not appear at times..but if i run the program again, it appears..
    Sometimes it appears and sometimes no vertical scroll bar comes thought the data is more than the visible lines.
    Any suggestions ? why is this happening?
    Regards,
    Sharadha

    You have inserted data in the internal table and not "informed" the table control
    In the PBO, use a statement like
    DESCRIBE TABLE <itab> LINES <control>-lines.

    the bookmarks on my tool bar don't appear in my library. How do I restore?
    I run Mac OS with time machine.

    This can be caused by a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

  • Brand new 27" iMac scroll bar does not appear

    Scroll bar does not appear in almost any window. To make it appear, one way I make it appear is to grab the lower right hand corner and move the window size a little bit. The scroll bar appears. But when I try to then grab the scroll bar, I must stay INSIDE the window as I move my cursor toward the scroll bar.
    Sometimes swiping down on the cursor to move the page down, the scroll br will appear.
    But there is a basic problem. The scroll bar does not appear without EXTRA moves of some kind to make it appear.
    By the way, the scroll bar in the window I am in RIGHT NOW is appearing without EXTRA moves.

  • Formula bar does not appear in Numers on iPad

    Formula bar does not appear in numbers in iPad 1. Tapping twice only numerical keys appear. Search net and could not find solution. Deleted and then downloaded numbers to no avail. Works fine on iPhone.

    when you double tap, you will first see the numerical keys, now look to the left of where the numbers show up, above teh numeric keypad. There are four "buttons". the number 42 is highlighted, this indicates numeric entry. the others are a clock (for date/time entry), the capital Letter T (for text entry) and an equal sign (for formula/equation entry). Tap the appropriate one to get the data entry type you require. If in formulas, you will see the four buttons collapse down to "...". to save space. just tap that button to return to the four.
    This information is available online from apples Numbers support web site, or through the Help menu under the wrench icon:

  • Scroll bar no longer appears

    . . on the pages panel.
    They were there, I'm sure. But now, the scroll bars are missing on both the master page section and the pages section.
    How did I cause them to go away, and how do I get them back?

    >Any idea why this happened?
    Full moon? Seriously, short of a program crash I don't believe there's any way to point to anything specific that corrupts preferences.
    It's good practice to back up all presets from the various "Define" dialogs and to back up your two ID preference files, InDesign Defaults and InDesign SavedData, for easy retrieval next time you have a problem. The preference files are hidden files, located in your user profile. If you have backups for them you can just restore them and the presets should be intact, but having the presets, along with workspaces and keyboard shortcut sets, means you can move load them on another computer anywhere without having to create them from scratch.

  • Satellite A200 - FN tool bar don't appear from the top of the screen

    Hello all,
    I just bought Satellite A200-1UP ... now I have a problem in the Fn bottom. When I press on it the tool par doesn't go down from the top of the screen like normal. I don't know why. Although it was working normal ... just sudden don't appear .. but it still active with brightness and etc keys .. except the key for Touch Pad don't response ...
    I tried many time .. but still not working the Fun par ...
    Can anyone please tell me why it doesn't appear like before or how can I fix this problem?

    Without much discussion about described issue you should remove preinstalled VAP and install latest available version. With new version it works much better and the flash cards are shown very fast.
    After installing new version it will work again.

  • Profile picture and status bar don't appear in Game Center

    I first signed up for Game Center when it was released in the days of iOS 4. I used my iPod Touch 2nd gen. There was no status bar or profile picture, but I didn't realize because I was new. I later changed to an iPhone 3GS when iOS 5 was released, and the iPhone was restored to the backup of my iPod Touch. After my iPhone was fully functioning, I retired my iPod Touch. I noticed then that I was missing the profile picture and status bar because my Game Center friends had them. In December 2011, I bought myself an iPad 2 Wi-Fi. Still, no profile picture or status bar. I am confused, because my iPhone and iPad are running the latest version of iOS, 5.1.1. I have done plenty of troubleshooting, with no answer. Please help me.

    Yeah, my internet is on and working too. I have been looking in to this issue- I have emailed Apple to make them aware. It seems like it is affected most, if not ALL tbe Game Centers on 2nd Gen and from what else I've heard, 3rd gen devices too. Whether this is intentional I don't know- it seems odd that everyone has suddenly been disconnected from their games tab on Game Center older devices, so perhaps it is a ploy by Apple to ensure more people switch to a newer device? We'll see. For now, I would recommend you follow the posts I've put up previously too. See my profile for my contributions.
    Thanks, and add me on Game Center if you like.

  • Adobe Muse: scroll objects don't appear in businesscatalyst

    I am using the latest version of Adobe Muse, Muse CC 2014.2, I believe. When I "preview in browser," all my objects with scroll features enabled appear, but when I publish to my temporary business catalyst site at xxx.businesscatalyst.com, any object that has a scroll feature enabled does not appear on the site. I did not have this problem before the latest updates. Any help regarding this matter would be greatly appreciated.

    No idea if this will work for a you but a good rule of thumb I like to follow when something goes wrong with business catalyst is to publish the site again and select "All Files" instead of "Only Modified Files" from the publish settings in Muse.

    Dear pyi,
    i tried to put scrollbar, it seems this is not possible.
    But other solution is that i can make picture control larger than the line co-ordinates. I am attaching the same vi with few modifications.
    Hope it helps. Your feedbacks are welcome.

  • Two-thirds of .pdfs don't appear in iBooks after iPad sync

    I'm using a 2-month old iPad 3 hooked up to a MacBookPro.
    When I sync, using the Lightning-to-USB cable, I can see 34 .pdf files in my iPad, as its displayed in iTunes on the MBP screen.
    Yet, on the iPad, only 10 .pdf files appear on the bookshelves.
    As it happens, these are the 10 most recent purchases/downloads. (None via the iTunes Store, btw - books bought at the Store appear as they should.)
    I have powered down, done a hard reboot, re-installed iBooks in the iPad, checked that the appropriate checkboxes have been selected under the PDFs tab in iTunes, and toggled between Collections on the iPad. All updates are up-to-date.
    I also have iCloud on, but the .pdfs are backed up to the MBP, not to iCloud.
    This is a recent problem - previously everything was as it should be.
    Any suggestions or thoughts would be gratefully received.
    Thanks
    Chris Gibbons

    The best and simplest workaround for this is to upload the epub/pdf to dropbox on your mac, then open them in dropbox on your ipad/iphone.
    I have the first ipad running iOS 5, and this method worked.
