iframe usage?

[iluvperl]

I need something LIKE an iframe that doesn't load an external source.

I have a script that outputs thousands of lines of results that I need loaded into a fixed-height area that has a scroll bar. This is dynamic content so it can't be stored on a separate page for linking.

The HTML form field (text area) would almost work if I could apply html links and font colors in it.

Is there some CSS or some hack for an iframe to load with content I tell it to instead of another source?

Output it inside a <div> and the style the div to be a fixed size... and put overflow:auto on it - this will give you the scroll bars.

Jeff

Sorry. If that's CSS, can you give me an example of how to use that?

I am a programmer (Perl CGI and MySQL) but when it comes to HTML/CSS/etc I'm hopeless. lol

Thanks!

Here is how the HTML might look (with inline CSS):

<div style="width:300px;height:200px;overflow:auto;">
...insert all those rows here
</div>

Hi!!

Thanks! That worked great. Now when I tried moving things over into my tables, things aren't aligning quite right.

Can someone take a look at

http://spyderscripts.com/cgi-bin/test/words.pl

. You will see 4 large verticle lists. The first row I tried working on and the text went inside nicely.

However, I tried to set the tables up so the table header would be ABOVE the css data. However, the CSS only fills in my first td for some reason which pushes frequency and density to the right.

I want those TDS directly above my CSS.

In the end, I will break the CSS stuff into three TD as well (ne for the word and =>, one for the first number (before the space) and the last set of numbers).

Can someone show me what I am doing wrong?

I suggest avoiding tables for the effect you are asking for... but that is my 2 cents.

Here is a page that may help a little:

You just need to tweak it a little... I hope.

Let us know your results!

That is sort of what I am looking for (mine will have the first 2 rows on top and 2 rows on bottom, instead of 4 columns going across) but I can alter that no doubt.

What I want though is for the text above the CSS data to stay on top of it, I don't want it inside to scroll. I want it to always show the table headers.

Thanks

I want it to always show the table headers.

Looking at the left-hand list on your page, that is exactly what you have already, surely?
