Scrollbox in Div? Options

[cait7283]

Is it possible to just put a scroll box in a div instead of having the auto flow?

to have a scrolling div, all you need to do is assign a height to it.

ex:

CODE

<style type='text/css'>
#div {
position: absolute;
width: 400px;
height: 400px;
left: ___;
top: ___;}
</style>

<div id="div">blah blah</div>

Once the content gets bigger than the assigned height (400px) it will scroll

Ok, I don't know if it's possible but I was wanting to put a scroll box under the comment box so you would have to keep scroll to read what i put in there. Is it possible in any way?

thats just a textarea

CODE

<textarea>blah</textarea>

you can edit it with css:

CODE

<style type='text/css'>
textarea {
font:;}
</style>

Thxs that worked, but can you center the words, and use bold and underlines with the text?

I don't think you can use <b> or <u> in textareas..

as for centering:

CODE

<style type='text/css'>
input, textarea {
text-align: center;}
</style>

No codes will have any effect if they're placed within a textarea. Those are often used for sample scripts and codes, because they won't affect the rest of the page.
