hey all, i was wondering if i could get a little.
i built our band a website..i know most of you will already be cringing at the thought as i really have no website building experience or qualifications.it was out of necessity as we couldnt afford to pay someone to build us one.
basically what id like to do on my homepage of the site is put a scroll bar next to the main body of text so that users can scroll down through the updates instead of me putting in an unnecessary amount of text fields.
if someone could find the time to help with this,a code i can insert it would be greatly appreciated. i built using yahoo builder so i can insert HTML easily.
any advice/feedback on the layout of the site is also very welcome.
our site (<!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.thedardanelles.net/home.html">www.thedardanelles.net/home.html</a><!-- w -->)Wrap the text in DIV tags, and style that div with a desired height and "overflow: auto;".
However, I noticed the page looked a bit off in Firefox, so ran it through the w3.org validator, and found you have a lot of stuff to address:
HTML:
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thedardanelles.net%2Fhome.html">http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http% ... Fhome.html</a><!-- m -->
CSS:
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thedardanelles.net%2Fhome.html&usermedium=all">http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/vali ... medium=all</a><!-- m -->
(Adding a valid doctype will do a lot to get IE to display in standards mode instead of quirks mode, helping to increase the likelihood that it and Firefox display the page pretty much the same.)i see, il have to get someone who knows what they're doing to fix those problems cos i know id only make it worse! thanks a lot, i got a code for the scroll,
<DIV
align=left
style='
color: #000000;
background-color: #FFFFFF;
border: solid 1px darkred;
width: 400px;
height: 200px;
overflow: auto;
'> text...
</DIV>
is there something i can add in there to choose the colour of bar and arrows etc?
again,thank you very much....

You can, but it's a Micro$oft extension to CSS and as such can only be counted on to work in IE. See <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/workshop/author/css/reference/attributes.asp">http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/defau ... ibutes.asp</a><!-- m --> and scroll down the main frame to the various scrollbar-* attributes for more info.
