Hi
I want to put contect in a scroll box area on my webpage without making frames. Is that possible? When I seached Dreamweaver for a solution it only gives the option for frames or in a form format. I just want content in a specific area and to be able to scroll down within that area. Please let me know if this is possible.
Thanks a bunch!

You could probably find a DHTML script out there to do it for you... for example, here's one that does it for you, but scrolling is automatic and stops only if you hover over the section:

A DIV tag with the CSS property overflow set to scroll or auto would do it as well, and it's pretty easy to do:

This is important I use it all the time
e.g. http://www.muleshoeisd.net
<div style="width: 330; height: 170; overflow:auto">
A whole bunch of text here that normally would not fit into a 330x170 pixel square
</div>
I hope that helps

You can use layers and set overflow to scroll. This will work but can give weird results between browsers. I've made it work reasonably well in IE5+, Firefox and Opera8.
Best,
