Recently, my company RavenWood Creative launched a new site for a client, botanical-expressions.com that makes extensive use of Simpleviewer by Airtight Interactive. We embedded the viewer into a few pages so users can scroll through all the different arrangements and floral creations the shop can produce.
We had a few issues with the viewer, but worked them out. One of the them that had me pulling my hair out was that we got the Flash to play on the page, but you could not scroll down to see the thumbnails below the main image and the footer of the site, once it was previewed in different browsers. After some research I finally found the solution on the Simpleviewer FAQ, to add a vertical scroll bar, we had to remove a single line of code from the resulting index.html.
overflow-y: hidden
A single line of code.
Sometimes it’s just the small things in life, but what a relief, when I found it!
Let me know what you think of the new site? The clients are happy and we’ll be tweaking the site in the coming weeks, they are always a work in progress.
Until next time, Tim

Oh my….. I had the very same ‘problem’ and it drove me totally nuts. Where in all the code did I go wrong (html, xml, css)?! Even horror thoughts of having to code all over again…
But you had the answer, short and sweet!!
