asp.net textbox won't show vertical scrollbar on iphone

Question

I have an company asp.net website with textboxes which may contain several hundred words. These display just fine with a vertical scrollbar in Firefox and Safari on a Mac. But on Safari on an iphone (the majority of users will have these) there is no vertical scrollbar. Is there any way of forcing a vertical scrollbar? If not, I guess I'm going to have to have separate pages with 'expanded' textboxes for the iphone users.

Asp.net textboxes don't have a 'scrollbar' property. I've tried using an 'overflow:auto' style, but that doesn't work either.

Answer 1

There is no scroll bar per-se for the iPhone. A two finger swipe/drag over the area causes it to scroll.

You could always implement a JavaScript based scroll bar.
