[Google Maps API v3] no scrollbars in infowindow in android browser

[Rolf Dohrmann]

Hello,

yesterday I saw my map on an iPhone. The content of the infowindow was
too long and
was cut off. No scrollbar was shown. I tried to fix that. I put the
whole content in
div-tags with max-height and overflow:auto (overflow:scroll).

On my workstation firefox and chrome show scrollbars. On my mobile
phone, android
1.5, htc hero, shows no scrollbars. So is this a bug or can I fix
that? Any ideas? Here
is a link:

Thanks, Rolf

API controls the info window size depending on map container size. You
have relative map size, and scrollbars appear if you see your page in
a small browser window.

That behavior is built in API. The info window <div> already has
{overflow:auto}. You don't have to set that in your content <div>.

Actually I would not recommend setting {overflow:auto} in the content.
There is a small risk of double scrollbars with some browsers.

Sorry about first replying without trying.

Confirmed, Nexus One does not show the scrollbars. It behaves like
{overflow:hidden}. If it is not in your CSS, it may be a bug either in
API or in Android browser. Please report the issue to get better
answers.

The answer to the question is:

it's not a bug. iPhone and Android browsers do not support scrollbars
in infowindows. more infos can be found here:

That is a really important piece of information. Anyone making web
pages should be informed that {overflow:auto} cannot be used.

Thank you.
