DBRW into a scrolling text box?

[SAC]

I'd like to put the results of a database put into a scrolling text box
rather than have all the records show in a table.

It's like showing so many record at once and having a vertical scroll bar on
the right rather than a next button to view more records.

How can I do this?

Thanks.

Not possible, instead use an IFrame on your page, then display the results
table page in the IFrame, since you are using the FP DRW, you can use the
paging function to limit the number of records.

I'm sorry, I'm pretty new to this. What's an IFrame? I see where I can
make a new page that has frames on it.

Thanks.

Which version of FP are you using?

IFrame = Inline Frame

With FP2000, you have to manually insert and configure the IFrame tag

Here are a couple of resources:

Assuming you really want it in a text are, with the output formatted as
plain text, do :

<textarea>
<!-- # include DRW ...... -->

<%=FP_field("fp_rs,"yourdata") %>

<!-- # closing include... -->
</textarea>

However, that would only handle a single field/record.
