:confused: I need some help with this,

I am baffled on how to add a scrolling text box....it's hard to explain so I'll just use "Tempest811's" site as an example on what I mean.

Here's the link to his page....and what I'm talking about is how he made his "news" section.

Thanks in advance...and I hope that the "templest811" doesn't get mad, but I couldn't think of a better way on how to explain it to you guys what I mean.

that's an iframe, but you can also do it with other HTML elements by utilising CSS...

overflow: auto; and define the width/height in CSS...

works a treat

if you have backend support, it's an idea to look at not using IFRAMES... especially as they are no longer supported in the www.w3c.org standards...
