lol, its me again guys, the noobie guy trying to write a new website using HTML, i ave completed the old webbie and want to design a new one, got the new design up and tried to make the main body text overflow, but its not workin... this is the code that should make it overflow, any1 got any suggestions??? (btw, if ya wanna see the site to see the scource click on the website link in my signature)

<the code>

'<td background="methos2images/baseimages/writing.jpg" valign="top" align="left" style="padding: 40px; height:100% ; width:68.5% ; overflow:auto ; ">'

PS:: does any1 know how to get one box on the sides then stop them repeating???

It's not limiting the height as you've specified 100% for it. If you specified a fixed height, for example 300px, then it will clip the contents and display a scroll bar if the contents are too big.

ah, ok, thnx

BTW, I'd change the width of the titlebar if I were you as 1200px is too big considering the size that most people use (last time I checked) is 1024x768

hmph
