I'm trying to create a cell with a scroll bar in it using FrontPage 2003.
I'd like the vistors to be just able to scroll through a news area that I put
text into...Any Help.
 
There's not a great way to do this with just table cells.

1. You could put an IFrame into the cell, and load your news content into
the IFrame. IFrames have all the same problems that ordinary frames do,
with the added bonus of browser compatability (Netscape4x doesn't support
them).
2. You could put a div into the cell, and use CSS to set the overflow style
to 'scroll'. Again, browser compatability is your bugaboo here too.

The very best way to do it is to use dHTML to create a scrolling area on the
page. There may be an extension available for FP that does this.

Start by checking here -

Check out frontlook.com they have some applet applications that will
aoutomatically scroll the information for you. You can even add pictures with
text. I've used them before and like the way they work.
 
Except "applets" require Java Virtual Machine, and new computers do not come with it installed.
It must be downloaded from Sun Java and installed by the user.

inaccessable, and....
