I would like to find a template or program of some sort that places scroll bars on my page. I have a document in dreamweaver that is approx 3 pages long. I would like to be able to place it on one page with scrollbars so you can scroll through the entire document in a one page window. Does anyone know where I can find a template like this? Basically it would simply be scrollbars on an empty area where I can insert the entire 3 page document and someone can scroll through it so they can see the whole document on one page.
 
Why not use a top and bottom frame with the main frame in the center. The top and bottom could contain title, navigation, copyright data etc. and would be set for no scrolling. The center could be as long as you like and would automatically contain scroll bars as long as length of page is greater than heigth of Center frame.

Surely you have already thought of this...if so...any reason why this would not be feasible? Ya' Gotta Love It!:)X-)
 
No I hadn't thought of it. I didn't know that scrollers would be automatically included. But thanks for the tip, I will try this out.
 
Yes...anytime your page is longer than what wouyld fit vertically or horizontally on the users browser...It will automatically have scroll bars on the side and/or bottom. Ya' Gotta Love It!:)X-)
 
Okay, one more question. Does this work for any type of document? I mean do you have to use frames? For example if I create a page using layers or tables and add a page that is longer, will the scroll bars be included on something like that?

Thanks Again for the info!
 
Yes...absolutely...and you do not have to use frames unless you just want to. Ya' Gotta Love It!:)X-)
 
Here is a FAQ I put together for anyone who would like to have scroll bars that are a little different than the norm.

Give me a rating of 10 if you like it. Ya' Gotta Love It!:)X-)
