text scrolling window

offtheroad · 05-07-2008, 04:26 PM

I'm on my 4th forum now without an answer. I'm on a Mac running Leopard 10.5.2 I'm using Dreamweaver CS3. I'm not a coder so I have a very simple site for a car show. One large image in a table cell but my customer has much copy to put in it. So I need a scrolling text box inside the table cell. I've received (from other forums) some code but can't get it into the table cell. It would be nice if the box could have a transparent background but I could live with white. Here is my simple code and I need to know where to put the CSS or HTML code for the scrolling box. If you have a more elegant scroll box I would appreciate seeing it.

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<title>Untitled Document</title>
<style type="text/css">

</style></head>

<body>
<table width="772" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td width="772"><img src="../images/image.jpg" alt="image" width="770" height="990" longdesc="http://index.html" /></td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html

Thank you, please help

I might be jamming threw posts too quickly, but I don't see what your source code has to do with your issue.

I think what you are wanting to do is to use CSS's "overflow" option so that you can create scrolling content anywhere on a page without using framesets.

Is that what you are looking for?

See, for example
