O.P. Website
Hello guys, i will try and explain this the best i can...

My website is all working and everything, but i want the main content area to have a fixed height, and if it goes any bigger than that fixed height it must scroll, check http://www.haboz.net to see what i mean, the white area is the content, and if it goes any bigger than the size of the area then it has to scroll. If you dont understand im sorry. Please dont go into critisizing my code, i just want to know how to do this :) thanks.

Figured out one way but its not how i want it :(...

Scrolling: http://www.haboz.net/index2.php?page=lbb
Not Scrolling: http://www.haboz.net/index2.php?page=home

And the reason i dont want it like that is because when the page doesnt need to scroll it looks crap.

P.S. I will be fiddling with it to try and find a way, whilst i wait for a reply so things may change 8-)

I want the content to scroll if the "white area" becomes bigger than a "fixed" table height if you know what i mean, can be by either the main scrollbar (preferred) or seperate. I'm also good with dreamweaver bt meh.

Would be easiest done with a iframe I think... Of course, this would mean you need another file for the actual text, so you might want to consider some other option?

I've tried that method, and i also tried with div tags, they both worked, but i dont want the white area maximised than it is for that certain content, because my page already uses php and the content comes from external files, bt yeh. It's just a matter of finding a way to make a table a fixed height and for everything to stay at the top and not move down to the middle of the table -.- If you need an example for what i mean i can redo that.

edit: re-added div tag so you see ;)
