Hi all,

Sometimes there will be wide table inside the content of an email(below picture),

I am wondering if a horizontal scrolling bar can be added to the textarea in email form?

Thank you very much.

You can alter the DOM for the textarea in runtime to display horizontal scrollbar also

DOM manipulation is unsupported still here is a quick reference:

body tag needs overflow-x set to scroll

RE: Horizontal scrolling bar for textarea

Hi Deepesh,

You inspired me!

I added the following script to the email form, and let the function [Form_onload] run on email form load

function Form_onload(){ add_scroll("description"); } function add_scroll(LabelName){ document.getElementById(LabelName).style.overflowX="scroll"; }

But something strange happened. An extra vertical scrollbar appeared,

and the horizontal scrollbar is not scrollable even the content exceeded the textarea....

Any ideas?

Thank you!!

I will rather suggest you to use a html webresource with jquery rich text editor and then internally save to CRM via Xrm namespace.

Whatever script we apply here can easily break in future. HTML webresource will be useful until any methods are not deprecated.

Hi Deepesh,

Would you mind elaborate a little bit more?
I am very new to CRM coding,

Xrm.Page.getAttribute('description') or Xrm.Page.getControl('description')

and how to set the style overflow?

It seems that [ Xrm.Page.getAttribute('description').style.overflowX="scroll"; ], is not a correct behavior.

It will be graceful if sample can be provided~

Thanks!!

Hi Mithilesh,

Appreciate for your suggestion, but I don't need such function for the description, a simply horizontal scrollbar will fulfill my need :)
