Scrollbars in tables

[AndyP]

I'm making a website, and i have a table which shows site updates.

However, instead of making the page huge with updates, i'd like to have a scroll bar inside the table, to scroll up and down that table only, i've seen this done on another website, but i'm not sure how.

Can anyone help?

Hi,
Consider using IFRAME. You can decide width and height how much u want and what content goes inside this IFRAME.

if its simple update (plain text) then look for TEXTBOX tag. I hope its of some use.

Another alternative is putting your table inside a div like this

<div style="width:100px; height:50px; overflow:auto;>
<table...></table>
</div>

this will not require a new page for your table, unlike the iframe element.

woudn't that put the scroll bar just outside of the table though :)

Thanks to all users who replied

Re: the <textbox> tag
Thanks for the idea, but the text, and background are formatted with CSS styles.

The table was already in a div, i just added that overflow style and it works great, thanks. One more thing though, can i edit the scroll bar attributes like colour, like i could on the main page scrollbars?

Thanks in advance

edit: never mind, i found out myself, simple really :)
