Scrolling Text Field
in [FrontPage]
|
From: Ronx on 26 Feb 2010 14:53 No - A form field area can only be pre-populated in Code view. You could try a scrollable HTML container instead, for example: <pre style="height: 300px; border: 1px solid red; width: 600px; overflow: scroll;"> Code goes here </pre> The CSS would be best placed in an external style sheet which can be accessed by multiple pages. The border is only for decoration. I use a similar method on my pages , for example: http://www.rxs-enterprises.org/fp/articles/2008/01/03/02/Validating_Email_Addresses.aspx -- Ron Symonds Microsoft MVP (Expression Web) http://www.rxs-enterprises.org/fp Reply only to group - emails will be deleted unread.

From: Greg Maxey on 26 Feb 2010 15:32 Ronx, One more question. If I elect to go with the scrollable HTML container how do I modify the border color, weight, style, etc.? I mean where do I go to learned how and what to type in the code to define this sort of thing?
