Some Observations

The results of this phase of experiments did not reveal anything new , but confirmed the observations made in Phase I: body < Peep-Hole and Phase II: body > Peep-Hole, as follows:

• The default value of 'overflow' property of the html is visible.
• Again, the default value of 'overflow' property of the body is visible.
• Furthermore, the observation to the fact that the Default scrollbars belong to the html element, but are definitely controlled by setting of the that of the body element was further confirmed.
  The scrollability via arrow keys is a illustration of the fundamental flaw in the Default Scrollbar Control scheme of this browser: The Default Scrollbars belong to one element (i.e. html), but are controlled by another (i.e. body).
• Similarly, the same "inconsistent" behavior also observed:
  • The auto & scroll values of 'overflow' property of the body element versus the default & visible values of 'overflow' property of the html element failed to activate the scrollbars of the body element.
  • The auto & scroll values of 'overflow' property of the body element versus the auto & scroll values of 'overflow' property of the html element did activate the scrollbars of the body element. But the body element did not retain its specified height/width, but rather expanded with the height/width of #test.
  • Again, this "inconsistent" behavior is noted without a comment.

What is Next?

We would suggest that you proceed to review the results of the same set of experiments for FireFox 1.5 - Part 5. www.web-zonez.com/screen/scroll/matrix4/4ffresults.html
