Ingolme Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 In order to make it have a scroll bar on overflow you'll need to modify this line:<td height="289" align="center" class="style1">And make it look like this:<td class="style1">And then change the CSS :(by the way, I recommend an alternate font, my computer doesn't have "Batik Regular" and is using Times New Roman).style1 {font-family: "Batik Regular",Arial;height: 289px;text-align: center;}On another subject... tables aren't the professional way to define a layout.

Ingolme Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 There is a better way, only it requires changing your whole idea of layout. It's entering the world of positioning <div> and <span> tags through CSS.Just as an example of how it works: <html><head><style type="text/css">.h {width: 90%;height: 200px;border: 1px solid red;position: absolute;top: 50px;right: 5%;}</style></head><body><div class="h">This is a basic container styled with CSS</div></body></html> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
