I'm trying to set up a window on my graphics-based front panel which diplays text. The text is way too big for the window, so I want the user to be able to scroll ( vertically ) through the text ( manual scroll - not autoscroll ) Doesn't sound too ambitious? I've tried everything I can find to get it to work in 'any old browser'. I'm currently using a text input box, which works, but it's ugly, obscures the background, and can't use css formatted text! I can get it to work poifectly in IE and Opera, using css and the 'overflow scroll' options. But Netscape 4.5 - no dice.
(In the best of all possible worlds, there would be no scrollbar, just the 'hand' icon for the user to pull the text up. But a scrollbar is acceptable.)
Does anyone know a way which works? ( I'm using Dreamweaver, so a 'behavior' plugin would be fine.)
Many thanks ofr any tips! P.B.
p.s. things I've tried ....
1) dragable layer - bottom of text gets chopped off
2) css scroll - won't work in NS4.5
3) I-frame - as above
Remember, NN4 has a completely different document model from IE or NS6 (for instance the proprietary <layer> tag). Also, it does not support <iframe>. You may need to write a completely separate script if you want to support it.
