Ok, I'm using a borderless table. Whenever I put words in it that exceeds the height, it ALWAYS makes the height longer, so that, it covers my other stuff. I want it to scroll down instead of making it longer. How do I do this? This is my code:

<table style=position:absolute;left:300;top:565 border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5">
<td bgcolor="#0099FF" cellpadding="5" width="132" height="133"><b>VI.</b><a href="http://www.neopets.com/neomessages.phtml?type=send&recipient=starryshimmer">Apply For position</a><br> <b>VII.</b><a href="http://www.neopets.com/neomessages.phtml?type=send&recipient=starryshimmer">Apply for Position</a><br> <b>VIII</b><a href="http://www.neopets.com/neomessages.phtml?type=send&recipient=starryshimmer">Apply For position</a><br>
<b>IX.</b><a href="http://www.neopets.com/neomessages.phtml?type=send&recipient=starryshimmer">Apply For position</a><br>
<b>X.</b><a href="http://www.neopets.com/neomessages.phtml?type=send&recipient=starryshimmer">Apply For position </td>

I think I know what you mean, but you might want to try DIVs instead.

<DIV style="position: absolute; top: 565px; width:100px; left: 300px; height:100px; overflow: auto;" align="left">Your_HTML_HERE</div>

just input your width & height, and the alignment, and your HTML o'course.
