Text box with scroll bars

[Guest]

I need to create a text box with a scroll bar inside a cell in a table,
without using an Inline Frame. Is there a way to do this? I use FP2003.

I take it that CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets. I have to read about
CSS and Layers, both are new for me. You have certainly given me a direction
worth pursuing. Thanks a lot!

Use CSS
Put this in the HEAD section:

<!-- Scrolling cell script -->
<style type="text/css">
#scrollDiv{
height:200px;
overflow:auto;
}
</style>

Adjust height as desired.

Then add:

<div id="scrollDiv">

after the td definition.
i.e.
<td width="95%"><div id="scrollDiv"><a name="scroll-head"></a>

I added navigation with <a name="scroll-head"></a> after the div. Then
from anywhere in the table you can goto top of table with a link to
"scroll-head". If you use more than one table just change the name.

WARNING:
Overuse of this technique can cause page bloat resulting in long d/l time!
