Object/Iframe-alternatives wanted

[KarlZ]

What can I use that is likely to work in as many browsers/OS as possible? I want to be able to position a scrollable area (with a html-document) inside a table.

I have a website that has to have CrossBrowser support. Mozilla, IE, Netscape, Opera - all in a few versions back and both MacOS and Windows.

Object works fairly ok, but the scrolls allways appears, even when not needed. (must think of looks too...)
Iframe doesn't work in all versions of Netscape.

I'd rather not use Java or other scripts... is it possible to avoid?
What kind of support is there for various scripts in diffrent browsers, can they all handle them?

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thank you, supreme master, for quick answer.

However... textbox is not an option. I want to get an html doc inside so Iframe is what I've used so far, but that doesn't work in all Netscape versions.

Can I link a html doc into a <div> tag? If so, how?

Could you not wrap an ILAYER around an IFRAME to support older Netscape browsers?

[spykemitchell]

I agree with fang that using an i layer with an I frame would probably do it but object tags shouldn't automatically show a scrollbar, try putting scrolling="auto" in the object tag as if it was a frame...

I tried with the ilayer but no change.
What does it do?

I also tried the scrolling=auto but I read somewhere that it's a thing with the explorer that makes scrolling appear even if set to auto. Will supposedly be fixed in coming versions ...

Which version of Navigator are you trying to support?
The ILAYER works in NN 4.0
This site (http://www.blooberry.com/indexdot/html/index.html) gives an overview of browser support for HTML elements.
