How to remove vertical Scrollbars in portal?

0 Kudos
269

I am developing a portal theme where one of the requirement is to have scrollbar as we have in sdn.sap.com. I don't want to have scroll bars for individual iframes but I would like to have one scroll bar for entire portal window. I checked several posts but none of them seems to offer correct solution.

I have tried the following solution.

1) Change the desktop innner page to "Embedded" and Height Type to automatic.

Remove Fixed option from masthead, tln and page title bar.

I still get an inner scroll bar.

2) I looked at but I am not really sure if this works for me or not. Did anyone try this?

Thanks in advance.

Hi PB,

Perform the changes in the iview properities:

1) First, make sure that the iview size (in Appearance-Size) content area is sufficient to display your content.

2) As mentioned by CV, set all your iviews that you do not want with inner vertical scroll bar to "No" in "Show Tray".

I had the same issue with multiple scroolbar and I removed them base on teh above 2 steps.

Hope that helps.

Just so you know, the solution in the weblog above is the one that SDN uses for the forums/wiki/weblogs areas of SDN, so it defintely works

Hi Darrell,

Thanks for your update.

I tried the solution once but my code did not seem to fire at all.

We are planning to implement this in our normal portal environment with ESSS/MSS scenario. My question was, does it work for normal content instead of light portal?

How does the scrollHeight get calculated when there are embedded iviews in content area ?

Normal content generally isn't a problem because the scrollbars will only appear if the content extends past the height of the page, however, this is also dependant on client browsers, etc, so the main scrollbar cannot be completely guaranteed to dissappear. However, the inner scrollbar (which is what the blog talks about) shouldn't be a problem because the content is added to the main page and therefore the page is flat, so inner scrollbars shouldn't be an issue .Like the other people said, also remove the tray in the iview properties, although I don't think that the tray has scrollbars, but its been a while since we used the tray on an iview, so I can't be 100% certain.

I hope that makes sense
