Question

My JSF form contains a popup panel. The code is here:

            </h:panelGroup>
        </h:form>
    </div>

    <div id="footer">
        <div class="footer-content">
            <div class="footer-liks">
                <a href="#">Home</a> | <a href="#">Company Profile</a> | <a href="#">Partner's</a>

            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
</h:body>
</html>

The popup shows. However, if the content is too large, then the scrollbars do not appear. How do I let the scrollbars always appear when it's required?

Was it helpful?

Solution

Did you try to set a style on the div?

<h:panelGroup layout="block" id="container" style="overflow:scroll"> ... </h:panelGroup>

If that works, then the best would be to define a class.

Maybe you also have to explicitly define the size of the popup to get it to work properly.

Update:

The final solution was to use a <h:panelGroup>..</h:panelGroup> block inside the <rich:popupPanel> without any additional style information. The <rich:popupPanel> already renders a div with the overflow:auto style around it's content but the size calculation of the popup seems to fail if there is only plain html code inside it.
