I need help.........

[Rhynos]

I have created a page using a table. The table and cells are sized as a
percentage to keep the placing of objects in relation when viewed at various
screen sizes.
I have a cell that will contain text. The length of the text passage is longer
than the cell and I want to create a scroll bar so viewers can scroll down
within that cell only.
Now, I can create this by using a layer but I can't get the layer fixed, and
resized properly when viewed at a larger screen size.
I could also do this if I could insert a single frame into that table cell,
but I cannot achieve this (is that actually possible?)
I'm using Dreamweaver 4

Put your text into something like this -

<div style="overflow:auto;">Your text goes here</div>

which is placed into the table cell.

Hi Murray *TMM*

Thanks for that info, it worked a treat.
Can I also ask, is there anyway to prevent a horizontal scroll bar appearing?
My layer width automatically set itself to the width of the text. If I pull the
right margin of the text in, the layer width adjusts itself in as well.
Any suggestions?

Add the CSS styles for width to the div's inline styling. You may also need
to style the <p> tags within the div to be a specific width.
