Hi,
I've got a lot of text that I want to place in a cell. At the moment the cell is expanding to accomodate the text which makes a mess of the page. What I would like is a fixed size for the cell and vertical scroll bars to appear if the text is too big for the box. The table has only one cell. Solutions with frames are out. I've searched high and low for a solution to this (and learnt a lot about HTML and CSS in the process) but I can't help feeling I've missed something simple. Anyway, you're help in solving this would be much appreciated.
Code is as follows:
<HTML>
<HEAD></HEAD>
<BODY>
<DIV STYLE="position: absolute; left: 30px; top: 30px; height: 300px; width: 200px">
<TABLE BORDER=1 CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=10>
<TR>
<TD ALIGN=left>A load of text...</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
</DIV>
</BODY>
</HTML>
