Hello.
I've been wondering how to make a table-like thing [Heck, maybe even a table], that has text in it, but you can scroll inside of it... Did that make any sense?

You have a page.
On it, you have a small table, but there's a scrollbar on the table. This is what I'm looking for.

I have seen it done with JavaScript, but it is quite hardcore.

In very basic terms, you put all of your text on a layer then built a graphic scrollbar. Use onmouseover to launch a fuction that either scrolls that text layer up or down.

You could also use iframes... But they will only work with IE and NS6.

You can use regular frames (why doesn't anyone mention this?)

Make the table layout and make sure it works, then cut it up and put it in the frameset.

Hth,
