scrollable windows in a window

Aug 26, 2005 8:45PM PDT

hi. probably a simple question for you guys. can you recommend a site that has info on how to create a page with "mini, scrollable windows" within the page? here's an example:

those aren't frames, right? i'd be very surprised if they are frames.

anyway, thanks for any suggestions you might have!

you can also use stylesheets
Sep 4, 2005 11:12PM PDT

fyi, you can also use stylesheets if you don't have a need for getting the content from another file.
just put your stuff in a <div> tag and specify, in the stylesheet, the height of the div, and then put overflow: auto in the stylsheet for the div.

hey, thanks for that tip. i didn't realize i could use stylesheets to create those. i'll give it a try! (btw, is there any advantage or disadvantage to using stylesheets vs inline forms in your opinion?)

STYLESHEETS :)

Stylesheets are awesome! Lol, i personally suggest that. It helps separate the formatting too, so everything looks neater.

Changes to the scroller?

Can you make changes to how the scroller looks if you use the auto function with div tags?
