Hi. This may sound like a stupid question, but are there any alternatives to iframes to have scrolling text on a fixed size -and background - cell in a table?

I'm asking this question as most people who visit my site don't have an iframes compatible browser.


thanks

I think DIV are good to use! I don't know you have to try the DIV for yourself, but I'm not sure what's compatible with DIV either.

a scrolling div is similar to iframe but... you cannot change its contents with a link click.

Thanks. So if i use a scrolling div instead of an iframe i have to reload the page each time instead of targeting the frame right?

That's ok. But can scrolling divs be transparent?


thanks

correct on the reloading page part.

as for transparency, yes. take the same style you are using for the iframe and just plunk it into the div tag.
