I am currently utilizing jQuery to dynamically load the content of a text file into a div element. However, when the content exceeds the dimensions of the div, no scroll bar is displayed.
Here is the HTML structure:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
<title></title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="CSS/common.css">
<script src="JS/common.js"></script>
<meta http-equiv="Cache-Control" content="no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate" />
<meta http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache" />
<meta http-equiv="Expires" content="0" />
</head>
<body>
<nav>
<ul id="tabs">
<li><a href="#" id="tab1" name="#tabContent1" class="activeTab">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="#" id="tab2" name="#tabContent2">History</a></li>
<li><a href="#" id="tab3" name="#tabContent3">The Circuit</a></li>
<li><a href="#" id="tab4" name="#tabContent4">Gallery</a></li>
<li><a href="#" id="tab5" name="#tabContent5">Further Reading</a></li>
</ul>
</nav>
<div id="content">
<div id="tabContent1"></div>
<div id="tabContent2"></div>
<div id="tabContent3"></div>
<div id="tabContent4"></div>
<div id="tabContent5"></div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
The CSS styles for this setup are as follows:
body {
background-color: #EEEEEE;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica;
font-size: small;
height: 100%;
margin: 100px auto 0;
width: 100%;
}
#tabs {
list-style: none outside none;
margin: 0;
overflow: hidden;
padding: 0;
position: relative;
top: -98px;
width: 100%;
}
#tabs li {
float: left;
margin: 0 -15px 0 0;
}
#tabs a {
border-bottom: 30px solid #3D3D3D;
border-right: 30px solid transparent;
color: #FFFFFF;
float: left;
height: 0;
line-height: 30px;
opacity: 0.3;
padding: 0 40px;
position: relative;
text-decoration: none;
text-transform: uppercase;
}
#tabs a:hover {
border-bottom-color: #2AC7E1;
opacity: 1;
}
#content {
background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #FFFFFF;
border-top: 2px solid #3D3D3D;
height: 100%;
padding: 2em;
position: fixed;
top: 30px;
width: 98%;
overflow: auto;
}
.activeTab {
border-bottom-color: #3D3D3D !important;
opacity: 1 !important;
}
.img {
}
The designated jQuery function for loading specific content in response to tab clicks is as shown below:
$('a[name="#tabContent2"]').click(function () {
$("#tab1").removeClass('activeTab');
$("#tab3").removeClass('activeTab');
$("#tab4").removeClass('activeTab');
$("#tab5").removeClass('activeTab');
$(this).addClass('activeTab');
$("#tabContent2").load("external/test2.txt");
$("#tabContent2").show();
$("#tabContent1").hide();
$("#tabContent3").hide();
$("#tabContent4").hide();
$("#tabContent5").hide();
});
If you're facing issues with the appearance of the scrollbar within the container, consider adjusting the CSS properties of the `#content` element to ensure proper scrolling functionality.
