Auto scroll in a TD w/o frames

nasaboy007 · 09-11-2005, 08:08 AM

is there a way to make it so that if there is more than a certain amount of text in a TD, a scroll bar will appear rather than the box resizing and messing up the whole layout?

otherwise, is there a way to use the php include and index.php?page=blah thing and send the $_GET['page'] to an iframe that is in the TD?

i hope i make sense...

You just can't have a scrollbar on a table. It would have to be an iframe or something. In HTML, the only thing that can scroll is the body of a page :/. I think you could make it work with a dynamic script that starts the string truncated and splits it up as you change position. Probably not worth the trouble.
