Is it possible to create a scroll bar in a table or page without using frames.

I need this but the enviroment requires it to be coded in HTML only.

Need Help

Technically, yes. Not in a table exactly but it can be added anywhere in a page including a table using the 'div' element.

Here's a bit of code to get you started:

<div style="width:100px; height:100px;
overflow:scroll; border:1px solid black; ">
Text in here that exceeds the limits of the
dimensions specified will scroll.
</div>

This is CSS2 and probably won't work for early versions of Netscape. There might be a better way but I don't know it. If it's for a website, hope it works. If it's for homework, hope you get an 'A'. ;)
