Hi, I'm using Dreamweaver 8 to create a website and want to know if it is possible to add vertical scrollbars to a cell? I have created 3 boxes (cells) and want to be able to store text in them that i can scroll down. I've heard and read things about Div but I don't know what this is or how to use it. Any idiot proof help most welcome. Thanks. H.I.T

I think it's something like this: (<td> is the table cell) <td><div style="overflow:auto; height: 100px;">Your content text goes here</div></td> -- Of course it's better to put the css definitions in a separete place, once youre familiar with it. View the source of this file. --- Fubar

hmmm....i found something similar but it's not placing where i want it to. I want it flush with the right edge like a normal window. I read somewhere that to lock a cell (so it would stop resizing) I need to code the cell in rather than manually draw it in, so i tried this and everything is just going wrong!! I basically have 3 cells side by side and when i start messing around coding the cells sizes in, they are ignored OR they go completelt wrong. Thanks anyway. H.I.T

There was a couple discussions in here about "using a GUI web authoring software" versus "learning HTML". The general conclusion is: No matter how advanced the software is, you can't create professional-looking websites without knowing HTML. If you have the time, learn HTML (and CSS). If you don't, use CMS' like joomla. Websites created with Joomla Both'll lead to a professional-looking websites. Learning HTML (and CSS, and serverside scripting) means that you'll be able to create something that's impossible to do with Joomla. -- So back to your original problem, you do need to hand-code some of the HTML. I also use Dreamweaver, but only use the design view for previews. Most of the times, the layout looked "ruined" in the design view, but not when I uploaded it to a live server. -- Tables, in the current trends, are not supposed to be used for layout or positioning. Tables are for "tabular data". For layout, W3C (and many more) encourages us to use divs. --- Fubar
