tables or frames

**slidemaster** · 03-16-2002, 02:07 PM

I know this can be done, I'm just not sure how to go about it. I am in the process of making up a homepage using tables. Now, on my page I want to put a list of my links that will scroll to avoid using up too much space. So my question is, how do I incorporate this? Is what I'm looking for a frame, or some kind of script? I tried the page as a framed page but didn't like the results.(too many scroll bars) Thanks in advance for any help.

I don't really get what your saying but I...guess...frames would be the answer. But I highly recommend to anybody to not use frames on their pages. But that's just my opinion.

Sorry about being so vague...lol.....what I'm asking is to have a portion of my page, let's say, 150 pixels x 200 pixels to contain links of my favorite sites. However all of my links will not fit into this area so it would have to be scrolling.....can I do this using a table format?

Go to

http://secret.jamrent.com

to see a half-dozen or so varying ways the <SELECT ...>
process can do what you want inside a table. The same can also be done with <Javascript ...> and, most likely <STYLE ...>s - I've not done so with those, yet, though.

There are lots of alternatives -

You can make a small, scrolling box with JS or forms. Just using css.

check out http://css.somepeople.net for a tutorial, and an example of a scroll box. You can have 20 pages of html in there, it doesn't matter.
