scroll text

knuckle05 · Jun 16, 2003

Hi all,

I have a page, and in the center of the page I would like to put a small area (box) with text in it that can be scrolled up and down by the user.

The problem is that I don't want to use a TEXTAREA, and was wondering if I can avoid splitting my page by using frames, because it seems to put this in the middle of the page, I would need many different frames. I don't want to use TEXT AREA because I want the "area" to look like the rest of my page. Does anyone know how I could accomplish this? Thx!

If it's simply a formatting issue, and you want the textarea to "blend in" with the rest of your page, try:

Code:

<html>
<head>
</head>
<body style=&quot;background-color:#00ee00;&quot;>
<textarea rows=&quot;15&quot; cols=&quot;40&quot; style=&quot;border:1px solid #00ff00;background-color:#00dd00;&quot;>
Banana banana banana
</textarea>
</body>
</html>
