"Scrollable" list on the page

    Hi,

    * There is an SSRS report that is showing the fields of just one record: ID, Name, etc.

    * In case if this record is a Parent it also shows all its children names, it currently uses Table to list all those children names

    * but if Parent has large number of children, that Table spreads over multiple pages and that does not look pretty

    Is there any way to have something "scrollable", so that instead of looking at all those pages user would simply scroll through all the children names staying on the same page?

    Thank you!

    this is really an html question, more than a report server question, i think.

    you can do it with a div, by putting the table/list in the div;

    it would end up affecting the way it prints...it will only print the visible portion of the box area.

    it is exactly the same as the [ CODE ] tags insert into the html pages on the forums.

    you will need to edit teh page itself,and wrap the table that will contain the scrollable data with this htmlk:

    you need to adjust the sizes to be what you think looks best:

    <div style="border:1px solid black; width:80%;height:500px;overflow:auto;background-color:#EEEEEE;">

    Your Table Goes Here

    </div>

    Thank you Lowell,

    unfortunately doing it in HTML is not an option here

    all Reporting services is is a front end for generating html from your data; there's no built in ScrollableArea object, so you'll have to expand your boundaries a little bit if that scrollable area is a requirement.
