Scrolling Areas

That us the QueryString

[Mr_Brutal]

Hi,

I was hoping someone could suggest a couple of ways of using a scrolling area other than the way i currently do it as its currently a bit clumsy i feel.

I have a search page that when accessed using the querystring with search parameters produces a page that has a list of matchs, but i want those matchs to appear in there own scrolling area on the page. Currently i use an Iframe, but because it uses its own source i am having to set the querystring variables that exists as session variables and then my page in the iframe uses the session variables to run its query. Can i use something other than an iframe to present the results in a scrollable area on the main search page so that i can just use the querystring variables and not use session variables in what i feel is a clumsy manner!

Sorry if this is hard to understand, but any help with scrolling area suggestions woudld be appreciated.

Thanks Y'all

You can set the overflow property of the element(s) that contain your results.

Example:
<div style="width: 100px; height: 300px; overflow: scroll;">
Your results here
</div>

You can also use 'auto' in place of 'scroll'.

You are quite welcome. Yes, divs are good great but remember you can apply that style to other elements as well.

<p style="width: 100px; height: 300px; overflow: scroll;">
Your results here
</p>
