Scrollable Area

[brelade]

How do I insert a scrollable area to my pages, so that the Nav Bar & Banner
remain in view, but the contents of the page are able to scroll up and down.

Use an iframe.

Brelade,

The program I use allows me to Insert a framed document and make it the
size I want automatically. But the code looks like this:
<iframe id="ifrm_1" name="ifrm_1" src="thanks.html" style="width:444px;
height:434px;></iframe>

The src is the page you want to display in the frame. If you make the
frame a few pixels wider than the target page, you can avoid horizontal
scroll bars.

HTH,

Mike

I have inserted the code below, which indeed has brought up a scrollable area.
As you mention the src brings up the page you wish to show in the scrollable
area.

However is it posible to insert a blank scrollable area within my main
programme then insert what i wish then up load it to the web.

I wish to keep my Banner & Nav Bar seperate, & just have the main area free
flowing. Is this possible with Publisher
Cheers

To explain further, what i would like to do is have a scrollable area to one
side of my page with example latest news items, so that i have a title & text
that i can edit, i.e change font & colour /underline / choose background
colour etc, then have some text, with a hyperlink so than my vistors can view
full story etc, then seperate each news item up, with either a line for new
title for next news item.
Very similar to this discussions page where you view threads (Centre
Scrollable Area), but with out the expandable option.

I have used the code you have given me, but when using it it brings up the
whole orginal page in the scrollable area.
Am i right in saying that i have to make a sepearte page for each scrollable
area, then with the src, link to that page, if so i have a few questions.

1. If i have to make a sepearte page how do i resize that page individualy,
as again when i resize any pages it resizes all of the pages within the site
or.

2. Do i have to make a folder on my server for these pages & link
individually with src

I was hopeing that i could just layout my pages with fixed area's &
scrollable area's on the main programme.
Cheers

Brelade,

I forgot about Pub not allowing different page sources. That sort of
throws a wrinkle in the idea. A workaround, though not eloquent, would
be to create other pages and use absolute links.

[brelade]

Can you explain an absolute link, give an example of how to do it.

Am i right in saying, If i create a new seperate page, then save it in a new
folder on my server,is the link below a correct
example.(http://www.breladecockerspaniels.co.uk/index.htm/scrollableareas/page1.pub)
then insert the code you have given me, adjust it's placement by doing web
preview, then with the link i make, it should appear where i want it on the
page.

When i create this new page, what format do i save it as, (web page / pub
doc ).
I need to make weekly text changes to this scrollable area.

Brelade,

It would not be
http://www.breladecockerspaniels.co.uk/index.htm/scrollableareas/page1.pub
but you could replace index.htm with index_files and your page name
would end in htm. You do want to make sure it does not have the same
name as another file in the same folder.

When you want to change it, you edit page1.pub then republish it.

Brelade.
To open a link in a new window, you can usually use something like <a
href="index.html" target="_blank"> </a>

To avoid a horizontal scrollbar, you will need to make your iframe large
enough to hold your page, or your page small enough to fit in the iframe.

AFAIK, it's not possible to change what side the scroll bar will appear on.

Brelade,

What page has the iframe on it? I'm having trouble understanding exactly
what you are trying to do - it's not your fault! I'm battling the
results of a visit from a really mean bug who came in uninvited and beat
me up pretty bad. I can't even work Sudoku puzzles let along figure out
some coding.

Hopefully, I'll be fine tomorrow.

And *your* question is?

NOT using publisher BUT

After publishing the pages to your hard drive there is a method of inserting
code that will show a navigation bar on the side while the page is scrolling
up and down.
