Ok, im creating a website and i need help. I have the whole site fully coded (basically) and the last thing i have to do is enter information into a box on the page but its a lot of information to get into a medium sized box. Im wondering how to get it so that I can put all the information in but have it so that the box doesnt expand, but the box scrolls up and down (scroll box/scroll bar).

I designed the site using Adobe Photoshop, Coded most of it in dreamweaver (HTML) and notepad. Basically i want it to resemble a box like this "quick reply" or "advance reply" page of this forum where u can just scroll it.

I need to know how to make the scroll box and how to get the scroll box where i want it to be.

Help would be greatly appreciated, I already searched google and found nothin to help me.

thanks

the thing is:
in the design i made a designated box (made a box with the marquee and put a stroke on it) where i want the information to go. In photoshop I "sliced" that box and now i want to just be able to paste a lot of text into it. Its kind of hard to explain. Ive seen an example of it on a site but i dont want to spam...by any chance do u have AIM?

Do you know how you got that dent, in your top lip? Way back, before you were born, I told you a secret, then I put my finger there and I said "Shhhhh!"

Yes a sample website for us to help you would not be spamming. I think I know what you mean, you want to use a background for the textarea and you want that background to be fixed right in the text area?
