ie 7 scrollbar positioning problem

[Barry Tuber]

I have seen this issue reported online, but none of the solutions people mentioned have worked for me so far.

I have ckeditor (current version) integrated into a site, and when users with ie7 or lower hit a form where the content is long enough to cause the frame to scroll, the scrollbar goes out of position to the middle of the frame and there is no way to get down to the bottom of the editing area (see screen shot here: ​http://personalcto.redirectme.net:8088/ckeditor_ie7_issue.png)

I saw the same thing reported in places like this: ​http://theholyjava.wordpress.com/2011/03/31/ckeditor-scroll-dialogs-with-page/, but I was not clear on how to implement the solution mentioned there. Other pages talked about setting the div enclosing the text area to be position: relative, which I have tried but without success.

I only just switched this site from fckeditor to ckeditor because of another IE issue that was not solvable in fckeditor. I have asked if the user can upgrade IE or install another browser for the time being, but I do need to be able to support IE7 for this type of thing.

Could anyone suggest what else I might try?

Thanks,

Barry

I found the problem; there was a td { vertical-align: middle; } that was in the style sheet for another purpose which IE7 was applying to the editor area.
