What I want is:
A Multiline form textfield with an "external" scroll bar e.g an image below the textfield.
Can this be done? If so how
Thanks in advance

Not really sure what you want to do. Can you give us an example that you've seen online?

Still not sure what you mean by "image" below the scroll bar. If I understand you (which I might not), you could use an iframe? But that would render the form useless, if you need to submit it.

I mean by having a kind of down arrow image below the textfield to control the textfield ( e.g scroll down )

Do you want the text field to actually be part of a workable/submitable form?

Oh, okay, you want to have the text field controlled by little images underneath it. I'm sure it's for a cool and funky reason...
Other than having it within an iframe that you control using JavaScript? No clue. Sorry!

Yes
How can this be done. The text field I want externally scrollable is already iframed.
Thanks

sorry, unless the whole form is in the iframe, that's not going to work. I don't think. This is beyond what I know how to do in JavaScript.

oh... you'll have to tell the JavaScript where to look -- try looking at dhtml scrolling scripts for ideas on how to control it.
