Blog Tool in Layout Grid??

Hello,

I have a website largely built using a layout grid design for each page. I have been trying to add the "Blog" tool, available from the default toolbar under Misc. The issue I have encountered and am unable to correct, is that the vertical height of the grid expands to show the entire length of blog text when the page is published to the server. In the edit mode, the page properly shows the scroll bar, which is my objective when the page is published (and limiting the amount of text shown).

For example, if the blog text contained 10 pages of text, the published page will show all of the text - instead of showing a scroll bar which limits the amount of text shown when the text exceeds the height of the grid.

I have tried every available option to the best of my ability, but no luck. I have read every post I could find on the issue, still no luck. Any advice and help would be most appreciated,

I'm using V14.3.4 on a Win7 PC,

Thanks so much.

Shawn

PS. I would normally show the page with the issue, but I am actively using the page as published so cannot add the errors. Here is the page without the blog on it however.

The height of the blog is always full size.
But you can set a fixed height by adding this code in the 'custom style' section of the Object HTML:

Code: Select all

height:150px !important;
Note that for mobile devices it can be confusing for the user if the page has multiple scrollbars.
