randomstrings said:

I work at server maintenance in my day job, and somehow my manager is convinced that i can write a program which have many data entry fields we enter data and results are saved in excel format output. Can someone gives me some headup if that can be done in html, as this is only language i knows. LoL

HTML is a language?


Jokes aside, HTML alone will not be sufficient for the task. You'll need to use JavaScript and server-side languages like PHP or Python.
If you do not know how to do that, you can hire a freelancer or maybe ask ChatGPT.

Show some sample code or screenshots, otherwise it's tough to help.
Do you mean a vertical scrollbar?

import tkinter as tk

root = tk.Tk()

# create a canvas to enable scrolling
canvas = tk.Canvas(root)
canvas.pack(side='left', fill='both', expand=True)

# create a scrollbar
scrollbar = tk.Scrollbar(root, command=canvas.yview)
scrollbar.pack(side='right', fill='y')

# associate scrollbar with canvas
canvas.configure(yscrollcommand = scrollbar.set)

# create a frame inside the canvas to hold your content
frame = tk.Frame(canvas)
canvas.create_window((0,0), window=frame, anchor='nw')

# for this example, just create 50 labels to show the scrolling
for i in range(50):
    tk.Label(frame, text=f'Label {i+1}').pack()

# update the scrollregion after starting 'mainloop'
# when all widgets are in canvas
frame.update()
canvas.config(scrollregion=canvas.bbox('all'))

root.mainloop()

1. We create a Canvas widget, which is a container that can be scrolled.
2. We create a Scrollbar widget.
3. We link the Scrollbar with the Canvas so that when the scrollbar is moved, the canvas scrolls.
4. We create a Frame inside the canvas to hold the content that needs to be scrolled.
5. For demonstration purposes, we add 50 labels to the frame to make it overflow the canvas.
6. We update the scrollregion of the canvas to cover all the widgets inside the frame.
