Scrollable Text Area On Index Page


Recommended Posts

I have an area on my main index page that is used to post updates for my site. The only problem is, when too much text gets put into this area it causes my table height to expand, which forces users to scroll all the way down the page to read all of the updates. Now I plan on putting more than just two comments in this area, so I need to make a designated scroll area on the right side of my index page.

If you look here: http://complhex.no-ip.org you can see what I'm talking about. The small grey area marked as "[updates]" needs to retain its dimensions/text attributes...the only thing that I need to add is a scroll bar to this area.

Would you be so kind as to assist me on this?

Thanks

You could put it in an Iframe.

If that works, but what would the browser compatibility be with an Iframe...also how could it properly be implimented into my current code?

<td bgcolor="#F0F0F0" width="250" valign="top" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" class="text"><br>

<p class="updatehead">[updates]</p>

<ul class="bullet">

<span class="Date">1/12/06 § 2:08PM</span>

<li class="updatetext">Area For Update Text</li>

<br>

<span class="Date">12/29/05 § 4:23PM</span>

<li class="updatetext">Area For Update Text</li>

</td>
