CSS Table and Scroll Problems

[poserman]

Hello

First thanks for your help.

What I would like to do is as follow

1. I would like to create a 5 px all around padding inside certain cells only.
Also, in those same cells I would like to have a thin white border.

I would like to create a scroll bar in the middle of the page with news
stories from my content manager something similar to
[url]http://ugo.com/channels/music/[/url]

I believe that they use overide CSS that forces a scroll.

Thanks

Steve

This CSS style rule -

td.special { padding:5px; border:1px solid white; }

will do that for any cell like this -

<td class="special">text here</td>

I hate these. But use a div with overflow set to "auto" and a fixed height,
e.g.,

<div style="overflow:auto; height: 250px;">the text that will scroll</div>
