I’m trying to accomplish something in Freeway that I did a long time ago in Dreamweaver (so long ago that I don’t remember how I did it!).
I’m trying to make a scrolling list, and I want to be able to click on items and open a different URL. But I’m stuck on limiting the length of the list object and having scroll bars appear. Whenever I add more items to the list than the space I’ve accommodated for it, then the HTML item that holds the list just expands itself.
I don’t know if I’m explaining it well, but you can see my example at fortbendchessclub.com and look at the left-hand side that has a scrolling list of dates.
I’ve tried putting the list item inside a container. I’ve tried giving both the list item and the container a fixed height, but it hasn’t mattered. If there’s a section in the reference guide that explains this, just point me to that section and I’ll be happy.
The list will expand in your Freeway view within your container div.csswraplist, but not when published, then it’s a scrolling list. That container has a fixed height of 180px and overflow is set to scroll. Is that what you wanted?
One usability issue though is for example the Current Safari/Firefox does no show any scroll bars until you hover and start scrolling. So it may not be obvious for the ordinary user that you can in-fact scroll.

David,
I didn’t make the fortbendchessclub website with Freeway – but that’s an example of what I’m trying to accomplish. I’m looking for some steps that let me do that in Freeway.
David,
I found the Overflow parameter that you referred to.
And thanks for the tip that I won’t see it until I publish it. Except that I’m not ready to publish yet, so I’ll have to built the last few pages, and then I can replace my old site with what I’m building new and then see if it looks good.

You will also see the result if you use Preview in Browser. The point that David was making was that you would not see the effect in Freeway’s Design view.
