[OpenLayers-Users] Scrollbars in popup

[Burgholzer,Robert]

I hope I will not get in trouble for cross-posting, but I will post this
to the DEV listserv also.  A small modification to the code in
"lib\OpenLayers\Layer\Text.js" and " lib\OpenLayers\Feature.js" will
permit the specification of overflow by including the column "overflow"
in the text file that is read to create Text Features.  It does nothing
if the text file does not possess this column.  

I put the modified lines here:

lib\OpenLayers\Layers\Text.js (Diff output):
71c71
<                     var icon, iconSize, iconOffset, overflow;
---
>                     var icon, iconSize, iconOffset;
101,102d101
<                             } else if (columns[valIndex] ==
'overflow') {
<                                 overflow = vals[valIndex];
128,130d126
<                       if ((overflow != null) ) {
<                           data['overflow'] = overflow;
<                       }


lib\OpenLayers\Feature.js (Diff output):
149,154d149
< 
<         if (this.data.overflow != null) {
<            this.popup.contentDiv.style.overflow = this.data.overflow;
<         }
< 
<         //this.popup.contentDiv.style.overflow = 'auto';

That works, but there is a FF bug that affects this.  If your map is not
the
size of the window, and your pan, the popup will be visible outside the
main
map div.  IE 6/7 doesn't do this.

FlickrBrowse does this. THe code is in
http://labs.metacarta.com/flickrbrowse/Flickr.js -- 
            popup.contentDiv.style.overflow='auto';

I have no idea if this is supported or not.
