Scroll area within page

[SjrH]

I'm looking to be able to create a scroll area within a confined space on a webpage. I've seen some pages like -

http://sub-urban.com/wandle.htm

(lower right part of the page) that accomplish this.

Is this something that can be achieved with css or should I be looking at javascript (or maybe both!)?!

Thanks

You mean an area that has its own scrollbars? You can do that via CSS -- the secret is [tt]overflow: auto;[/tt]:

<div style="width: 100px; height: 100px; overflow: auto;">
  Put lots of content here.
</div>

Ah yes, thats the ticket!

Some of the pages i've seen tend to auto scroll when you hover the mouse over the up or down arrow but I don't need that functionality.

This'll do great, thanks
