Putting a scroll bar in a table in dreamweaver

I have a table at the right hand side of my screen which will get quite lengthy and I would like to put a scroll bar on it. Can anyone tell me how to do this. The html at the beginnig of this table is as follows:

</table>
</td>
<td width="10" valign="top" bgcolor="#336699" height="331">&nbsp;</td>
<td width="171" valign="top" bordercolor="#FFFFFF" bgcolor="#336699" height="331">
<p><span class="textBold"><font color="#FFFFFF" size="3">Latest
News</font><br>
<br>
Cheers!

You can use the CSS property, overflow: auto; to do this. I wouldn't recommend it, however. It takes away the general functionality of the mouse and the keyboard to scoll. It's something I dislike seeing always.

You could also put the table in an iframe and that will scroll automatically if the table page is bigger that the iframe window.

iFrames are not a good thing to use.

I agree, but they might not be too shameful in this case if they benefit the usability of the page

i agree with ryan, overflow: auto; is he best way to do it from a coding POV but it can butcher the design.

Re: Putting a scroll bar in a table in dreamweaver

Yeah the overflow method is the best the bad thing about it is that you have a big ugly scroll bar in the way. But you know... " Whatever floats your boat"
