I have downloaded the trial version - hoping to find something that my wife ( coming from DTP roots) could use. She loved the way it allowed her to use vector graphics and layouts just as a DTP program allowed her to control the look. Then she became frustrated with the lack of common web form objects like date boxes, accordions etc - but she wanted to go forward.
Then she hit the scrollbable text field barrier - and it is no go.
I know it is not possible with Xara 6 by default and we have to use HTML codes to produce scrollbars - which look ugly. She wants to control all parts of the layout, your program allows her to them, but for the scrollable text fields ... no default way of inserting them, no control of their layout and the layout of text inside them, no control of how they do look like... It is a big missing part.
I found the following Javascript library, and could not make it work with Xara 6.
I think it can help you to create a scrollable text box in the next version. It has enough base coverage to allow you adding a scrollable text box - hiding the complexity from the user.
