i've finally decided to bite the bullet and design a user lookup of my own, however after creating a background that i'm really quite proud of, i'm failing miserably on the part where i have to create two scrolling text boxes...one (the upper box) containing my introduction to my look up and myself and the other (the lower box) containing all my stats and meagre trophy collection...

any help and/or advice would be greatfully received... :blush:

I believe the best route is to use scrolling div layers.
You should (I actually think you have to) put your user info in a table (just add <table><tr><td> at the very end of your user info) to keep it form breaking.

Hope that helps =)
