Text scrolling question

[mogey]

Hello,

I am new to html and I have a question thats probably pretty simple.....I'm using dreamweaver to make a webpage. I want to be able to scroll a lot of text(a resume) in a table of my page. I already have a background, so I want the text background to be transparent(only text shows)....Can this be done perhaps with DHTML or more simpler than that....if so, how would i put in a scroll bar is there a way to make the scroll bar inconspicious(by changing its color)....
Thanks for any help!!!

Here's a good cross-browser marquee script --

Lots of other good scripts there, too.

enjoy!

That's not quite what I'm looking for...
I want it to scroll vertically and do it manually, becasue it is a resume with a lot of info on it, it has to be done manually....

You can change the scrollcolor if you like to match the background color of the page or whatever - or you can set the overflow "style" property.

You will need to contain your text in a span, or div inside your table cell, since tables don't respond to overflow styling. then for the span use something like:

<span style=&quot;overflow:auto;height:100%;width:100%&quot;>
<h5>Resume</h5>...
</span><

This gives you scrollbars inside the table - if you want them invisible set - overflow:hidden. Then you can scroll it remotely if you like by setting the scrollTop proprty of the span. I am not sure whther you mean just scrollbars, or it is meant to scrol by itself - but this is a start.

Oh - you can also manipulate overflow-x and y independantly.
