shoutbox scroll box

[onthespot]

Hello. I have been creating a shoutbox. And have it all working, except I need to make the whole thing display in a scroll box, so it doesnt just go on and on down the page, does anyone have any idea how I do this?

 

This is my code....

 

			echo "<table cellspacing=\"1\">";
	if(($count % 2) != 0)
	{
			echo "<p class='odd'>";
			echo "<tr><td width=\"70\">$dtime</td>";
			echo "<td width=\"100\">$shouter_name</td>";
			echo "<td>$shout_content";
			echo "</td></tr>";
			echo "</p>";

	}
	else
	{
			echo "<p class='even'>";
			echo "<tr><td width=\"70\">$dtime</td>";
			echo "<td width=\"100\">$shouter_name</td>";
			echo "<td>$shout_content";
			echo "</td></tr>";
			echo "</p>";

	}
	$count++;
	        echo "</table>";

 

Of course that Is only a snippet, but thats the only part that will be of significance for this question. Thankyou

This is more or less a CSS question. You will probably want to simply create a style that is however long, and however wide you want it to be, and have it be scrollable.

 

here is a CSS tutorial: http://www.w3schools.com/Css/default.asp

Sorry I thought that if someone were to show me an example, as its using echo, this would be the correct place to ask. Thanks for the link
