Srollable text area---Newbie to HTML--

I am trying to make a scrollable text area, in a template based site. I'm not
finding it. Do i have to use a frame based site? Having hard time
understanding how tables align image slices with html text. it is shifting
everything around. Are layers a safe thing to use? Any issues? Here is the
domain http://www.rcwinternationals.com/ Very new to html, usually i use
flash. But html has to be better for certain situtaion. it's time i learn

if you go to the site, i just want the scroll area where the red box is. So in
the template i have made this area an editable an called it 'body'. do i
reference it some how in the code you posted? Thanks for reply

You would find this piece of code in your page. Thats easy, just insert
the cursor in the red area and then switch to code view and search for
where the cursor is blinking.


<td COLSPAN=6 ROWSPAN=2 background="images/bg2.jpg"> <p>This
is the text are were the the info goes rules, track info, hotel
info, sponsors links.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
<font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">&nbsp; </font></td>


Then change it to this:

<td COLSPAN=6 ROWSPAN=2 background="images/bg2.jpg"> <div
id="scrollingtext"><p>This is the text are were the the info goes rules,
track info, hotel info, sponsors links.</p></div> </td>


Then copy the code below and insert it directly before the closing
</head> tag of the pages code, as explained by the previous poster.
Change the width/height to suit


<style>
..scrollingtext{
width: 400px;
height: 200px;
overflow: auto;
position: relative;
}
</style>

I have a very simple scroller example here: I've used images, but text
could be used as well.

LOL - not intentional :-)
Your answer with all the code will probably be more beneficial seeing as the
OP doesn't know any html anyways :-D

PS: Just so happens that I have examples of things on my site that get
asked about quite often here, and this was one of them .....

hehe its ok, I'll just crawl back under the rock I cam from with my tail
between my legs hehe. I only posted all his code because I you so righly
pointed out they didn't seem to understand HTML

LOL- no need for that I'm sure. The more (posters), the merrier

I'll have to have a look around your site some more I think...

Please do... a heap of things to add to it, but never enough time!
