What I'm thinking of seems impossible, but I'm hoping the HTML Gurus can help me out here.


I'm looking to create a table, with links at the top, Using only html, and the links load new info into said table.

Now heres the real trick, I only have one page to work with, so Using frames to load in the other page won't work.

I have a theory, but I've been stopped short.

If I use a Div code to make the table scrolling, and hyper links to get to the info it might work. But I don't want people to be able to scroll on their own, I want to stop the scrolling process unless they click the hyperlink.

Seems like the long way to go about it, but I can't really think of another feasable way.


Also, belive it or not, it's for a MySpace, thus only having one page. I have way to much content and I'd like to have it in a nice little box, so you only have to see what you choose to see, see? Wait a minute.. Um Yea. Anyways thanks in advance for any advice.

In the #content portion of the <style> block. For example, if you want it 600 pixels wide by 400 pixels high:

#content {
width: 600px;
height: 400px;
overflow: auto; /* this is what causes scrollbar to display if needed */
}
