Scrollbars

Hi

New to the forum and don't have much experience in Dreamweaver either i am
afraid so bear with me! I have created templates to work from for my website
and so far so good. I have one editable region within the table that is for the
main body text of each page. Could anyone tell me if there is a way within the
editable text cell of the template that i can basically tell it to auto scroll
down when the text is longer than the height? At the moment my entire page is
scrolling and losing the links at the top, i dont really want to have a page
scroll with back to top at the bottom.

I have used an iframe to link externally on the index page as this is a
current news area which my client wants to be able to edit every month
themselves, this seemed to be the easiest way to allow them access to only that
area but i dont want to use them for every other page.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hopefully this is what you're getting at:

div.scroll {
height: 200px;
width: 100%;
overflow: auto;
background-color: #ffffff;
}


When you need to call the div, use:

<div class="scroll"> ALL OF YOUR CONTENT HERE </div>


You can edit the height, width, and back-ground color, just keep the overflow
to auto. See if that helps.

You don't need the back-to-top link. People know how to scroll. 99.9% of the
internet is built that way.

Adding yet another scrollbar just for the content just adds unecessarily
complexity to your page for no real gain in usability.

Your best option is to not trap your content in little scrolling boxes.
