JCE with no Scrollbars

Monday, October 2nd, 2006

If you ever want to get no scrollbars in JCE, mosCE, or tinyMCE for just IE then add “overflow:hidden;” to your template’s css for the body tag.  I don’t know why you would want that but we didn’t.  For whatever reason, a client of ours had this in their template and we couldn’t get scrollbars.  It baffled us.  We talked to the creator of JCE, searched the JCE forums, Joomla forums, and googled the hell out of it.  No answer.  So we decided that we should post on the Joomla! forum and hope for the best.  12 days later and our prayers where answered.  dartheide was kind of enough to post his fix.  Just goes to show you the importance of a good community. God I love open-source.

For all those that don’t know what Joomla is…

Seems that Brad Baker over at Joomla had an interesting time with an organization that didn’t even know that they were using Joomla!.  Read about it here.  The media and security companies have people worried so much about hackers and viruses that they don’t just take a step back and take everything in.  I guess its “better to be safe than sorry”.  But it would atleast help if they talked to their webmasters and/or their system admins before assuming their site has been hacked.  For all they know it could just be system admin tightening up security so much that the web server doesn’t let anyone in, even if they are just viewing a webpage.
