Text boxes that scroll...

You know what I am talking about. Those cool text boxes in the middle of the page that will scroll text.


How is that done? Java? What?

I have ZERO idea But I would love to know!!

Hey. Kinda made my first scroll text box today lol, after weeks of trying and getting absolutely no where. I'm sure there's another easier way to do it than what i did but i used iframes and i'm not 100% if it's the one you're thinking off, but it's basically a box which scroll's a text file.
You use the iframe code, and link the html you want to appear in the box. If you wanna link to text just make a new text.html file or something n link to that. Hope i helped.

I've seen Java applets used for it, but you could just use a horizontal/vertical marquee for it. HTML tag for it is just:
Code:
<marquee>Your text</marquee>
Properties like direction, scroll delay, and a couple others modify how it scrolls and how fast it goes.

In my opinion, I don't use them, because they can be annoying to read. Sometimes I like them if they are made smoothly and have a OnMouseOver stop command.

I am not at all talking about scrolling automatically. I am just talking about a scroll box that can take more text than the dimensions of the box. You know, a little scroll bar on the right.

here is the code, you will have to get your dimensions correct:

Code:
<div style="width: 100px; height: 100px; overflow: auto">
   Your text here
</div>
There you have it.

Listen to Order, he gave you the standard compliant version apposed to frames. Also, obviously you can put the CSS in an external CSS file if your using that with a class or ID.

Can you do that with tabular data (images?) as well?

I would love to be able to have my thumbnails scrollable within my page layout.


I am /so/ sorry if I am asking really basic questions, but I know less about http protocol than I do about Photoshop.

I am a great problem solver though, and I pick up on direction quick and like to learn all I can. Sorry for asking really elementary things!

yeah listen to order. He is our programming master, hey order, you must get a job in this type of stuff. You seem to know everything.

As for Runecaster, always use google before asking questions like these.

Hmm Order I tried what you said and it didn't work...

Can it be used in a table or table layout

Where would i need to put it in order for it to work?

I did paste the code on a blank page to test it out but even then it didn't work --- well, it kept the width, but it didn't stop at the length and create a scroll bar.
