Scrolling inside td tags

I was wondering if anyone here could tell me how to make a box inside a table that will scroll, I have done this with a div tag (go here www.violet-rain.com/links.htm to check it out) but it blows apart in netscape 6. Im looking for a way to accomplish this with minimal programming. Thanks for any ideas :]

Have you tried just using plain old fashioned frames? It's not the most exiting thing but they work. Or are you trying to get this done using nothing but layers?

Not really into frames, although it would work. The main reason for this is kinda cheap, I want to keep the main layout in site, so far only one page actually has enough content to need it, so I may just make the whole page scroll as normal. Just looking for alternatives. Thanks your help....

Yeah, the two easiest ways are to do it in frames and using

Taking a look at Codephobia, im gonna give this a shot, thanks man...

Interesting problem. When I run the page in N6 the scroll works but the table cells seems to be adding to their own width.

There seems to be an inconsistency on the way NS6 is using this tag on line 98. (div style="width:597px; height:321px; overflow: auto;")

If I take out the width setting like this (div style="height:321px; overflow: auto;") the problem seems to go away.

Let me know if this helps.

Also in your first table tag valign uses the 'middle' setting instead of 'center'. You don't even have to guess why that jumped out at me

I got rid of the width value, but netscape 6 has decided it does not want to run on my machine anymore, reinstalled it twice, still wont load. Anyhow I uploaded the html without the width value since it did not seem to change anything in IE5.5. Thanks for the tip...

IMO, Netscape is crap unless you are testing your site in it. The rendering engine is still slow, and the new java makes netscape take up too much ram. right now its taking up 35 mb to IE's 10. Huge memory leak there somewhere.

I completely agree with you Oblivious, I have never liked netscape. Since this is my personal site im working on here im not too concerned. I got netscape 6 working again, and the fix listed above helped, but did not cure problem. Ill think Ill leave it at that....

Hey, i own codephobia.com and wrote the scroller. Are these bugs that exist in my script?
