Are you viewing in IE, Firefox, or both? If I remember correctly, this overflow-x/y only works for IE.
This one dont work on both
Is it so hard to do?
Maybe this one don’t work because in wordpress code is not a <div> ?
Looking forward to your answers…
To be clear, it isn’t a WordPress issue. WP doesn’t really give a dump if your theme uses divs or not. Heck some folks do themes in tables still.
It’s a theme (aka (x)html/CSS) issue.
I use a plugin for code samples. Among other things, it styles them
overflow-x: auto;
overflow-y: auto;
See it in action. So, I’m pretty sure it can be done. :-p
If you’re curious, the code plugin is: http://blog.igeek.info/wp-plugins/igsyntax-hiliter/
😮
OMG … that is SEXY!
Sorry, couldn’t help myself. Solo, that’s tight dude! 🙂
hmm, i installed and activated the iG:Syntax Hiliter plugin, but no changes have been made in a posts, the code spot on the post left exactly as it was before…
you have to format the code within the posts — it doesnt arbitrarily change what already there. Look at the boxes above the post box …
you should see little buttons for php, perl, etc..
It (whatever you want to format) needs to be wrapped in the proper tags: [php] [/php] ..etc, thats what the buttons simplify.
no it isnt, changing code that you might not want chage is bad. thats how things work — for instance, if you want something encased in a div, you are expected to provide div tags. It doesnt happen magically.
Yeah, but i have many posts with too wide code. And I have to edit all of them?… Nah… 🙂
I cant believe there is no easier way to make the code scrollable…
I have an idea, You can use this code:
div.post(or#post) p, ol#commentlist li p {
overflow : auto;
}
it can make the paragraph with code have scroll with it.
it’s the only way you can use without a code plugin – I haven’t found other ways to solve it…
