Dreamweaver 8 - Scroll Bar in single-cell - non-coder

[sixthlie]

Im making a website for my office and I need to figure out how to make one cell in my table scrollable.

I went through a whole bunch of the other related forms but I'm still having issues. I need very simple step-by-step instructions on how to manage this.

If it was for personal stuff, I would done a lot more research before posting but i'm in a rush because it's for work and I'm basically they everything-related-to-computers guy, even though it's not my job. I have absolutely no coding experience. I tried to learn way back when and it was a disaster.

any help would be much appreciated. thanks.

If the table or table cell is a fixed height, then add overflow to the table cell in question:

<table>
<tr>
<td height="40" style="overflow:auto;">content exceeding 40 pixels in height here</td>
</tr>
</table>

Though, I believe setting height on a table cell is invalid HTML, you'd need to set the height in CSS instead.

Laughing, wherever you want the content to scroll. If you have A or B cell, if you want the content to scroll in cell B, then place the code there.
