iam using macromedia dreamweaver but i can't seen to find anything to help me. Anyone know of where i could find out how or know the proper name so i can search for it. Or if some one has some code i could use to help me create one. Thanks

 

Wow, that's pretty cool...

FYI that "scrolling text box" is an IFRAME (inner frame), what that means is that it's basically a second HTML page.

You can see just their inner frame by putting this code in your editor

<iframe width="327" height="108" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" name="news" src="http://mestcrapp.com/news1.htm">
</iframe>

If you go to "http://mestcrapp.com/news1.htm" directly you can get some more insight on how the auto scrolling is implemented.

Good luck

Thanks A lot marty that explains and helps me quite a bit i found a sick site of a basic one.

 

You can do it with a div too; it's by setting overflow to auto:

<style type="text/css">
<!--
div.scroll {
height: 200px;
width: 300px;
overflow: auto;
border: 1px solid #666;
background-color: #ccc;
padding: 8px;
}
-->
</style>
