Scrolling text to end of screen...

[Trentham]

I have a need to have a couple of scrolling text areas on a page.

I know I can do this with CSS and a style such as

.scroller {
overflow: auto;
height: 350px;
width: auto;
}

and then apply it to a <div> tag, however I want the text box to extend to the bottom of the page and not be of a fixed size. Setting &quot;height: auto&quot; does not seem to achieve this.

I could move to using frames which will provide their own scrolling but I'd rather not do this if I can avoid it.

Any ideas??

Trentham,

Would setting the height to 100%, and then having a top padding or margin to allow the box to start at any location down the page work?

I've not tried that approach (yet) but having a top margin/padding would mean that it'd give me white space (unless I do some other positioning of elements).

Still, I'll have a play and see if I can get anywhere with your idea! TVM.
