HTML Text Box Set Dimension *Help having a BrainFart*

Well I want to have a box that looks like a frame but does not link to an outside page. It looks like a frame but you edit the page in it's respective html file. It contains text and you can scroll up and down with it.

Where it says News, I can't expand the box because of the design and i'm trying to do this for a friend. He asked me but i'm having a major brain fart.

Help and Thank you!

I'm not sure what you mean exactly but i think you want an internal frame, or iframe?

 

Yes but I don't want src="whatever.html" I want to edit the text on the page itself. See what I mean?

 

Amazing design, Doug!
Here is a mockup that will help you achieve the "iframe" style with a DIV and pure CSS.

<div style="width: 300px; height: 100px; overflow: auto; border: 1px solid #000000"><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div>

Code (markup):

All you have to do basically is define a DIV fixed width and height, and then set the "overflow" property to "auto". As a result, if content inside DIV does not fit the space, scrollers will jump in, just like in iframes

 

So you want the user to be able to edit it? why not just use a regular text box? Otherwise your stuck with an iframe, you can skip the src and just put stuff inside it.

 

Very nice, this must be what you wanted.

 

Clive you know I love you right?

 

Haha, I knew it
