[HTML] Scroll Bar In Text Box/Window

Hello everyone, i have created a simple web site for school assignment and since i dont wanna stretch it to fit the whole information, how can i make a scrollable window within the web page?

i heard its another web page inside ur current web site, yet i dont know how that works.
Yes i have looked on google, yet i just dont know how to insert them or how they work.

Thanks in advance.

Need moar info.

There are two ways of going about this (well, there are probably more, but two obvious ones):

1. The 'old', depricated, but easy way: use a frame / iframe. Set the content in a frame, it will automatically scroll if you use a fixed framesize. Google can help you here.

2. The 'new', CSS way: use a style element and set its overflow attribute to scroll:

Code:

---

<div style='height: 300px; width: 200px; overflow: scroll;'>
  Lots of text here
</div>

---

Alternatively you can use a CSS to do this for you, which is the proper way these days. More info on the overflow attribute
