    <p>I've got a container with 10px padding all round. It has a set height on it and overflow:auto in order to contain the 'description' which can be as much as 1000 characters long.</p> <p>Here is what it looks like with no overflow...</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/uSOl5.png" alt="enter image description here"></p> <p>And here it is with a overflow:auto on the container.</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/A4gNt.png" alt="enter image description here"></p> <p>This adds a scrollbar which is the desired effect. However, despite there being 10px of padding on the bottom of the container, the text continues to the very bottom of the containers edge, suggesting that padding isn't taken into account when overflowing. I've tried adding more padding but as expected it makes no difference.</p> <p>Here is the HTML...</p> <pre><code>&lt;div class="journix-info-inner input-container shadow-bottom"&gt; &lt;div class="info-header"&gt; &lt;h2 class="journix-title"&gt; &lt;?php echo $row['title']; ?&gt; &lt;/h2&gt; &lt;h3 class="journix-user"&gt; by &lt;?php echo $row['user_id']; ?&gt; &lt;/h3&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;p class="info-content"&gt; &lt;?php echo $row['description']; ?&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;/div&gt; </code></pre> <p>And here is the CSS...</p> <pre><code>.journix-info-inner { margin-right:310px; max-height:360px; overflow:auto; padding:10px; } </code></pre> <p>This screenshot shows the padding and how the text is overlapping the bottom 10px of padding.</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/4wbId.png" alt="enter image description here"></p>

    2. CODo you mean you want the padding to apply to the box boundaries, clipping the overflow at where that padding would be?

    3. COYeah, see the screenshot above, you can see that the text clips in to the 10px of padding at the bottom. It's a strange one.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
