Vertical/Horizontal Scrollbar Implementation

[EyesOpen]

Two requests:

1.] I'm looking for a clean solution to adding a scrollable text area in Designer Pro 6. Took a look for a widget to do this. No Go! Searched for a simple html script that can be added with a placeholder (Without resorting to an iframe) No Go! Does this exist?

2.] A request for Xara to add this to the next version of Designer Pro. I would hope that this is in the designer code que already. It should have an invisible property that only comes opaque and active when typed text is entered into a placeholder and the text spills over the rectangle boundaries, whether it be vertical or horizontal.

Thanks for your suggestions and opinions.

The size is in the code so right click on the page & "Paste as html..."
-----------
<div style="width: 190px;height: 250px;overflow:-moz-scrollbars-vertical;overflow-y:auto;">
<p>text here! text here! text here! text here!</p>
<p>text here! text here! text here! text here!</p>
<p>text here! text here! text here! text here!</p>
<p>text here! text here! text here! text here!</p>
<p>text here! text here! text here! text here!</p>
<p>text here! text here! text here! text here!</p>
<p>text here! text here! text here! text here!</p>
<p>text here! text here! text here! text here!</p>
<p>text here! text here! text here! text here!</p>
<p>text here! text here! text here! text here!</p>
<p>text here! text here! text here! text here!</p>
</div>



If you have a placeholder already then paste this in ...

<div style="width: 100%;height: 100%;overflow:-moz-scrollbars-vertical;overflow-y:auto;">
<font face=trebuchet color=BROWN size=2>

You can change the background colour like this ...

<div style="width: 100%;height: 100%;overflow:-moz-scrollbars-vertical;overflow-y:auto;background-color:BLACK;">
<font face=trebuchet color=WHITE size=2>
