adding a user-scrollable text field in Dreamweaver or plain HTML?
I'm building a website that has all the content stay in a central section. Does anyone know how to make a text field that does not overflow past the graphics, but instead allows the viewer to scroll down as they wish.
I am using Dreamweaver and html, and would not like to use Flash.
any help would be appreaciated.
thanks

you can do that with css easily - you will need to define the object size and set to scrolable etc...

Use css to specify the area's height and width, then set overflow to auto, and that ought to about to do it.
