How can I add internal scroll bars?

[cbaur09]

Hi,
I would like to add to a portion of my site internal scroll bars. An example of what I would like to put can be found at the link below under the tab "LIVE" (sorry there is no direct link to this page):

Can I put in an internal scroll bar like that one using bluevoda, other than using an inline frame?

Thanks,

my site is http://www.coreycarlsonmusic.com

You would need to add your content and inside a script in an html box to do this.

Or.. use an iframe

So would I copy the code that bluevoda generates and place it in a script? Would it then automatically generate scroll bars, or would I have to do something else to get the scroll bars to appear after I put it into the script?

thanks,

You can see this css to an element, setting a width and height, and it will make a scrollbar if it doesn't fit inside the widthxheight

overflow: auto; width: ##px; height: ##px;


So if you have a <div> tag wrapping your text, you could do
<div style="overflow: auto; width: 500px; height: 100px;">this is a very large block of text that would be very very long if I felt like typing more............................</div>

Hope that helps (You should be able to right click and add the appropriate code, however I don't use BV so I can't help with that)

no you wouldnt use bv code.. youd use similar to what Chris gave you above in an html box.. which would include your text or image or whatever you wanted inside the scroll bars/box.

BV code contains structures that you wouldnt want wrapped again as it would just reproduce what you have inside another box.
