Hey Evil_PopTarT,

Welcome to Webmaster World! We don't allow link posting here (please read the terms of service) but I am sure we can find you some help or advice for your problem.

You might take a look at the W3C.org site and read what the Visual Effects properties offer: [w3.org...]

You can style a <div> so that the overflow content will scroll, div {overflow:scroll;} which would give the effect you want, except the Opera browser (growing in numbers fast!) does not fully support this particular property.

Your iframe option is supported by all modern browsers. It is NOT supported by NN4.x however.

There are javascript options but they can be bulky. Let's see if anyone else has some options for you.

Once again, welcome to Webmaster World...

I think the only real solution is a scrollable div as you said papabear. But, probably the best way forward would be to re-think the whole idea:

The scrollable content won't be particularly 'useable', many people just don't really get it and it will probably be fairly ugly on an otherwise nice looking page.

Why not have some general content with a link to the full thing?
