is it possible to add a scrollbar text box?

**AutoEvo** · 22 April 2011, 08:30 AM

Hi folks, as per title really... I want to add the T&C's of our services to our website and rather than having a word document i'd rather it be put into a text box that people can scroll down [better than having a very tall web page imo] hence why i'm asking my question...

thanks for your help!

Hi as the other thread is closed and I have another question regarding this, I'm adding to this thread...

1 - I've now managed [thank you neodeist!] to created the scroll bar text but when I've exported the website to my desktop folder and preview the page, the scroll bars don't work and so all the text I want my web visitors to see, they won't be able to see... so what have i done wrong and how do i correct this please?

2 - in the preview of the webpage, I have a horizontal scroll bar which isn't needed. I just need the vertical scrollbar. So how do I get rid of this horizontal scrollbar?

thanks all

[1] Best to attach your file so one of us can see where the problem is hopefully

[2] Make sure the placeholder for the iframe is wide enough to accomodate the content of the source file (src=), allowing for the width of the vertical scroll bar.

Hi Neodeist, hopefully the attached is OK. It's the only file i appear to be able to find when using this advanced reply [though when I open my desktop folder manually it shows all of the htm files?]

thanks

Actually, I meant the .web file - the file that XWD saves as your project. You will have saved it on your computer somewhere :-)

Neodeist, the .web file is 24mb which is too large.... is there a way to make this smaller that you know of?

lets try this

See attached - I moved the placeholder to the front [ctrl+F] and it works now

BTW - You have the horizontal scroll bar because the text page is 995pix wide but the placeholder is only 786 ... reduce the width of the text page to below 786
