Item1431: Preformatted text not scrolling in foswikisiteskin

Hi, I'm using foswiki 1.0.4 and foswikisiteskin 1.1.4 and found that in both firefox 3 and IE 6/7 that the preformatted text sections didn't give me scrolling boxes.

In fact, whenever I look at the foswiki.org site using firefox 3, the "pre" boxes just overflow completely.

I have updated the style.css that came with foswikisiteskin to include overflow of auto in the first definition of pre;

pre
{
        border-style:solid;
        border-width:1px;
        height:1%;
        margin:1em 0;
        padding:1em;
        width:auto;
        overflow:auto;
}

This works fine for me with firefox and IE7 - not IE6, but I'm prepared to live without that Just thought you'd like to know.

how do you mean "not work in IE6"? does it still have the same current behavior of not scrolling or is there something more drastic? if that's all the problem is, we should incorporate this change.

I suspect this needs an opinion from Arthur, who presumably turned off overflow in the first place.

For another use case, see Tasks.Item777. -- IsaacLin - 12 Apr 2009

the "not work in IE6" means that no matter what I did to the style sheet or where I put things (even in if loops for IE6 only), it still wouldn't show the scroll bar.

Foswiki site skin is being replaced by the FatWillyTheme in pattern skin. The theme does not have the problem.
