Scroll bars for text

[mrdwong]

I've done a search for "Scroll Bars" and I couldn't find anything useful except for "scrolling text", but I want the text to not automatically start scrolling.

I want the user to be able to read a text popup, but the text goes beyond the text box I've drawn. How do I add scroll bars so that the user can read the whole text?

You could try using an <iframe> in a placeholder in the popup with the attribute scrolling=auto

Here's an online example

The .web project file and the exported html attached (in zip)

Thanks I got it to work using the placeholder with an iframe tag referencing to another .html file (via URL) on the server that was basically just text.

Out of curiosity, what other files can iframe recognize and use? I've used a URL pointed to an html file. Can the source be a .txt file?

Can the source be a .txt file?

Yes, but it will not have any font formating as a plain text file.
