scrolling window

I have a long document that I want to publish on a web site. I would like to
not break it up into smaller sections. (It's the Constitution & By-Laws of an
organization.)

However, I'd like to avoid losing the links on the side bar.

Some time ago I saw a site that had a "scollable window" within a html page.
The page itself did not scroll, but the text within the "scollable windowd"
did. This would solve my problem, but I'm not certain how to accomplish this.

Any ideas to help get me started?

Thanks - Art

Art,
do a google search for I-Frame I'm sure that's what you mean.
Be aware that older browsers may have problems with this though.

Nadia, I'm surprised you didn't direct him to your own scrollable div
mini-tutorial....

Art, if you put your main text area in a div and do this in your CSS:

#maintext {
overflow: auto;
height: 400px;
width: 400px;
}

..... you should get an automatic scroll bar whenever the text is larger than
the assigned height.

Note that you need to assign specific height and width for this to work.

The other option is to make the navigation fixed position, but it would have
to be a small navigation area. And I seem to remember that one of the major
browsers ain't good with it.... (?)

Nadia,

Thanks for the info. Did some research and not sure this is the direction I
want to go, but I thank you - and the others - for the feedback.

As usual, fast and helpful.

Your fix recommendations to me worked just fine on the problem I had - thanks,

Did you test the css solution in opera and the latest explorer on mac??
(os9 and os x) would have been so nice if it worked...

(the last browser that didn't support iFrames is netscape 4.7)

#maintext {
overflow: auto;
height: 400px;
width: 400px;
}
