Hello,
I am trying to scroll bars appear where I want them, and remove the standard web browser scroll bar. I use Macromedia Dreamweaver... how can I make a scroll bar for only a certain layout table? How can I do something similar to this website? (as far as the scrollbars go) http://www.hamptoncomputer.net/
Thanks
The easiest and quickest way to see how a web site did something is to view the Source for the page.
If you do this at Hampton Computers, you will see they are using framed pages. One of the options for each frame is to choose whether or not it has a scrollbar.
Oh, and forget about using colours in scrollbars, that only works in Internet Explorer, as it uses the poor coding of IE to get the effect. All it does in real terms is add more code (extra loading time) to the web page, which will be wasted on anyone using Netscape, Opera, Mozilla, etc, because they will never see it.

well, but you still think it looks pretty huh?
just use CSS (Cascading Style Sheets)
type CSS scrollbars in google you'll find a crap load of info..

Hi S. Crawford, safeTsurfa, codeone, hi everyone
Definitely a framed site. :-))
The most important code for the Hampton Computer site, to be found in index.html. The site uses three rows.

</html>Using scrolling="auto" in the <frame> tag causes the scrollbar to appear only when needed.
Oh, and I don't feel like arguing about the use of the colors with the scrollbars. It looks pretty need with IE, and the JavaScript code is minimal.
As I haven't mastered CSS myself yet, I know it's a real handy way to change your layout (background colors, scrollbars, font etc.) in the blink of an eye, I won't argue about the use of it either. :-)
