Item9733: Can't get div styles working with TreeBrowser

A co-worker has some long fixed width text in the bullets of a TreeBrowser list, e.g.

%TREEBROWSER{"thread" openAll="on"}%
   * *db3.live.foo* 
      * *Backup*
         * =yinst set mysql_config_media_shareddb.backup_hour mysql_config_media_shareddb.backup_min mysql_config_media_shareddb.backup_frequency=1 -h db3.live.foo=
         * =yinst tag -latest pre-mysqlserver5.1.45-upgrade -h db3.live.foo=
      * *Host OOR*
         * =yinst stop yapache_status -h db3.live.foo=

Instead of scrolling the entire browser window,she'd prefer to scroll just the section with the tree in it, or wrap that section nicely.

I found some CSS example code on the web to handle scrolling and wrapping.

<style>
.scroll{
   width:300px;
   overflow:auto;
   margin:0; padding:5px; border:0;
   text-align:justify;
}
* html .scroll{
   overflow-y: scroll; 
   overflow-x: scroll;
}
</style>

and it works well when tested on a simple bullet list

<div class="scroll">
   * *db3.live.foo* 
      * *Backup*
         * =yinst set mysql_config_media_shareddb.backup_hour mysql_config_media_shareddb.backup_min mysql_config_media_shareddb.backup_frequency=1 -h db3.live.foo=
         * =yinst tag -latest pre-mysqlserver5.1.45-upgrade -h db3.live.foo=
      * *Host OOR*
         * =yinst stop yapache_status -h db3.live.foo=
</div>

Example

But I can't make it work with TreeBrowser. Neither

%TREEBROWSER{"thread" openAll="on"}%
<div class="scroll">
...
</div>

nor

<div class="scroll">
%TREEBROWSER{"thread" openAll="on"}%
...
</div>

produces neither wrapped or scrollable text.

Worse, the attempt produces truncated text.

screenshot:

• upper snap is the simple bullet list with wrapping and scroll bar.
• lower snap is TREEBROWSER code, truncated.

("Doesn't work" is unfortunate. "Appears to lose data" is bad.)

Can TreeBrowser be made to handle stylesheets like this? Or, at least, not truncate the text?

I think you need to give nodiv="2" to TREE macro. See TreePlugin documentation nodiv parameter

Nope. Same error with nodiv="2". The long text is summarily truncated.
