I'm looking to embed a webpage into my webpage in something like a textarea with a scrollbar. I know I can't do this with a textarea because the textarea doesn't support any html tags at all. Would I have to do this with a frame? And is there a way to put the frame in the center of the page? I have Dreamweaver MX by the way.

Use an Iframe. http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_iframe.asp.

To make the Iframe appear centered use a DIV with the "text-align:center" style like so:

<div style="text-align:center">
<iframe src="index.html">Your browser does not support Iframes!</iframe>
<div>
Hope that helps :)

Wow, thanks for the fast response. It works like a charm. I can't upload it yet b/c my FTP is down or something. When it's up again I'll link to it. Thanks again!

One of my early "Hilarious error" pages had a number of boxes in it, in whch I had scrollbars. I had trouble with the CSS that produced it. I was using HTML 4.01 transitional at the time. The page looked all right in IE, and if I remember right, in Opera also - I was using Opera at the time while designing my pages. But as soon as I tried using a Gecko-engine browser - Netscape 7.2 or Firefox, I had trouble, haha!

I called it collapse.htm and posted it on my site for some time, because I thought it was so funny!

I'd suggest you do this: hop over to the CSS forum and ask there, how to make boxes with scroll bars in them. I think if coded well, they should work fine,and they would help keep your site really clean, good-looking, fast-loading, and so forth!

You need to write your HTML code first, to get the structure right.Then you control the layout using CSS. People here are astoundingly helpful, so have fun!
