Scrollable text box... expands when text added

22/04/2008, 15h48

ok let me see if i can explain what i am trying to do... my site is laid out in
table's.... the cell where my text box is 250/ 300 in height... this will be a
new's piece of the site... i want to be able to add new items- using the
unordered list function; but, have it to where once the text starts filling up
the text box a scrollbar will appear enabling you to scroll up or down to view
the content.... i dont want the cell/ text box to expand.... waiting your
thought's a nudge in the direction of a tutorial would be great...
thanks

Can't really do this with tables. You would have to do it with a div
container with a set CSS height, and a CSS overflow style of "scroll", or by
putting the content into a form textarea field.
