i have the layout done of my site, and i know how to slice and dice, all that good stuff ... BUT

there is a spot in middle of page where id like to put a scroll box.

i dont know how to do it in the middle of a PS design!

in other words, id like a box i can write some stuff and have it scroll if it extends past the given space.

any easy tip you can give me? Or is this too complicated to do for a PS newb ..

thanks

i know its an entirely new question but is it possible to make this scroll box into a frame?

this way when i click my NAV bar it opens the contents in a frame in this little box in the middle.

thanks.

Uhm...you'd just throw in a text area box...

<textarea name="WHATEVER" rows="5" cols="42" >
</textarea>

Hmm?

Surprised nobody answered this.
1. Make sure the sliced part in question is about the same size as whatever you want to put there. Duh.
2. After generating the html, find that particular cell that the sliced pic is in. Get rid of the <img src=.... tag and instead make the sliced pic the background of the cell.
3. Then you can put whatever html you want in the cell and it will display on top of the sliced pic. Textarea will work fine but sometimes a scrollable table is better, depends. For that just surround the table with div tags containing the overflow:auto style. Add another empty (no style) inner div tag if the horizontal scrollbar isnt needed.

Sounds like something that could be done with CSS layout code too.
