Need scrolling text within a box

[siran]

Egg, what doesn't appear? Just downloaded to a differnent computer for testing. It seems to be instable in preview but works in a browser for me even in IE9.

I just downloaded it & tested. Nothing appears in the placeholder. Is Acorns placeholder meant to contain code?

[siran]

Yes, I have moved Acorns placeholder to the layer "TextScoller". It has code at the body and head. The group wirh the UsesJQuery name and the attached file doesn't contain code in my variant.

Egg, it might be a timing problem. May I ask you to check this changed code?
If it still doesn't work it might be a change in Version 12.8.x (guess you are using the latest version, I'm still using 12.6.2). In that case, could you export to html and zip and post the result, or upload the result to the web, or something else you can think of?

I inserted your text box at the bottom of the page to test but it the entire thing scrolls to the top like the rest of the page. Did I do something wrong?

Another idea I had was just to insert a "see more" button that would expose a few lines of text at a time. In other words you would scroll down the page until you get to this "testimonials" section, showing only a few testimonials. Then there would be a "see more" button that would show a few more testimonials and then another "see more" button. This would allow you to, at any time, just leave that section and continue on down the page to other sections. The goal of my client is they just don't want all the testimonials out there unless the person wants to click through them all. I actually think that would look better on this page. Ideas on how to do that?

This is the nicest CSS vertical accordion I have come across: https://www.sitepoint.com/css3-verti...rget-selector/.

This is a similar example with fewer bells: W3C Example Vertical Accordion.xar; a straight lift from W3C Schools - https://www.w3schools.com/howto/howto_js_accordion.asp

Hi Siran, still not working Xara Designer Pro X 12.8.1.50861

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/8f5gy0cfv...RYjBTYxpa?dl=0

[siran]

Thanks for the upload. Can see it not working. Will have a look later this day.

Here is the version adapted to 12.8.1.
The reason it stopped working is that Xara has moved the "top" of the xr_xr element from the tag to a style element. No idea at the moment what that might be good for.
Alliefan, I hope that this is what you have asked for. Maybe I completely misunderstood your post.

Nice find Acorn, have bookmarked that.
