Can someone tell me how can I do this.I have a 780x430 site that stays in the middle of a bigger explorer or communicator window.(depending on the users resolution)I want the bottom right
part of the 780x430 window to be a scrollable text.How do I do that.?
I use dreamweaver 4.I don't quite understand how the text tables work.Any easy and fast way to do this??

Indeed! You have the choice of using a &lt;LAYER&gt; for NS, or &lt;iFRAME&gt; for IE or Mozilla users. There's a really good wealth of information about layers at developer.netscape.com to learn about how to insert documents inside a Layer. And, of course, developer.msn.com will have a whole stack 'o stuff about iFrames.

You can embed either one of these tags within a table cell, and can nest one within the other for compatibility (one browser will ignore the other browser's tag, even though HTML checker programs tell you otherwise)
Computer thez nohhh...

I'd use an iFrame. It's standard HTML (you can read up on it at w3c.org) if you have Nutscrape users I'd put a link in there that can open the content of an iFrame (a separate html file, but not necess), and make sure you tell them that they are using a browser that doesn't implement well-known internet standards and to please upgrade to IE or something else that does.

Sorry guys but ARE YOU SERIOUS????????
Either I'm stupid or stupid.....
I wanted something easy and for a first look iFrame needs some heavy html editing.I wante something WYSIWYG.
If it's simple can you please please please explain it to me??
Is there something that I can do with layers on dreamweaver.On a first look it doesn't make the text scroll.

Oh and one thing that I forgot.Thanks for your replies

o.k I managed to make a layer with scrollable text.But have 2 problems
1) I can't make it to render on the correct place
2) I want the horizontal scroll to be locked and only have a vertical scrolling.
Thanks in advance
