Can you use Scroll bars in Table Layout Cells?

[Guest]

I am relatively new to FP and WEB building.

I have built a simple web site using Table Layout, one of the cells is the
Main information cell and has a lot of data to be displayed on a number of
the pages. I would prefer to keep the main format ie The header left column
and the footer on the screen at all times, but this is not possible unless I
can have scroll bars in the main data cell.

I think you can do it with Frames but my limited experience with Frames is
not good, so I would prefer to use Table Layout

Thanks for your help

Table cells do not have scrollbars, but other containers within table cells
do. For example -

<td><div style="overflow:auto; height:65px;">more than 65px worth of
stuff</div></td>

It's not a great solution, however, since you will encounter browser support
issues, as well as printing issues (only the visible portion will print).

Here's an example:

It prints. Note the media attribute on the style tag

Actually, you wouldn't want to use a CSS "layer" in a table cell unless it
were a relatively positioned one, and then it's not for sure it's really a
"layer"! 8)

Right, but it's a problem in that you usually mention me in your greeking
text, and in this case, you didn't.... 8)
