Vertical Scrolls

#1

I am creating a website done entirely in Tables (frames are driving me crazy
and layers are unpredictable)...but here is my problem:

I need to create a centralized area within the main page with locked h & w
coordinates that contain LOTS of information. Because of this I need a vertical
scroll (so the window isn't too big).

Some questions:
-Any way of adding vertical scrolls in a table?

-If not, any 3rd Party extensions to recommend to handle this?

-If I'm really screwed (ie, can't add vertical scrolls in a table
window)...should I lock a layer within a table (or any other suggestions?)

Thanks in advance.

#2

One way is to insert a div with the overflow property set to auto. You
canplace this div inside of a table cell. Here is an example.

Trent, thanks for the input.

My next question is probably indicative of us new generation web guys that
don't have a lot of coding experience (and rely on Dreamweaver's great icon
interface)...so get ready to roll your eyes...

Where do I attach this div coding?

Assuming that I'm in the code view of Dreamweaver...do I add your code in the
table area that I want scrollable? Or is there something else that I'm missing?

Sure, in code view just plop the <div>s inside the table cell ( <td> ) and
add your text. The styles go inside the <head></head> tags.

<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td>
<div id="ScrollDiv">Your text</div>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

You can add your text in Design View if you want by the way. You don't need
to do this in Code View.

Hello,

Once you put enough text in the div to 'overfill' it, you'll see the scrollbars.
Take care,
