I'm wondering how to create a table with scrollable rows without using the DIV element. I would like to use DIV, but I don't think that the browser which is used by our pocket pc's will support the DIV overflow.<br />
<br />
Are there alternative ways to achieve this. Keep in mind I only want the table contents to scroll, and not the entire page. I've thought of doing something like put the data in a form's select box, but those don't allow table elements within them.<br />
<br />
Also I thought of IFRAMES but I don't think our pocket browser supports those either. Regular frames are out of the question.<br />
<br />
Thanks for any ideas on this.<!--content-->Could you use an iframe (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_iframe.asp">http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_iframe.asp</a><!-- m -->)?<br />

Adam<!--content-->why do you think it won't support div overflow?<!--content-->Because the documentation says that the Symbol pocketbrowser is based on HTML 3.2, which does not support CSS.<!--content-->well then IFrame is the only way i can think of<!--content-->Originally posted by IncaWarrior <br />
well then IFrame is the only way i can think of No, not an option either. <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html32">http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html32</a><!-- m --> iframe is not html3. I do not see it anywhere there, it might not be around till html 4.0. Frameset might be the only option.<!--content-->well the symbol pocket browsers uses IE so IFRAME should still work for them even if it isn't valid for an equivilent netscape browser...at least i think that's right<!--content-->I just bust out the asp.net mobile controls for anything remotly mobile and it outputs my nice scripct wml.

Also not supported in 3.2.<br />

Wow, web page designing sucks for pocket IE and Symbol pocketbrowser.<br />
<!--content-->OK, here is what I decided to go along with. I am using a SELECT box with the SIZE attribute to get my scrollable container. According to documentation, select boxes are not required to have a form, just as long as they are contained in any block element. Fine. I'll still need to determine how to get nice even columns of data into the select box, as it doesn't support tables.<br />
<br />
And as it turns out, HTML 3.2 does support framesets, even though documentation doesn't show it. But I decided that frames are too much fuss just to achieve a scrollable table in html 3.2. And frames can easily clutter the look of a small ppc screen. I tested IFRAMEs also, but those do not work as I suspected.<!--content-->
