How do I fix the table size and make the table scrollable.<br />
eg:If I have 1000 records displayed in the table i wanted table not to increase or decrease with respect to the content size.I want a fixed table and regardless of the content size and make it scrollable<!--content-->If its just a simple list you can use a textarea box:<br />
<br />
<form><br />
<textarea COLS=60 ROWS=10><br />
your lists here<br />
your list here<br />
your list here<br />
blah<br />
blah<br />
blah<br />
</textarea><br />
</form><br />
<br />
and using style attributes you can put a nice border around the textarea table and color the backgound and the font faces/colors/sizes, but you can't add hyperlinks or other active HTML code, for that you would need to use JAVAscripting.<!--content-->Originally posted by kevin <br />
