Scrolling Text Box question

I'm changing a site for a friend. She wants to add a scrolling text box with a bio of herself on the grid we're already using on her page. The problems I'm having are it's difficult to resize the box once on the grid (you can't) and I keep missing anything that looks like the ability to scroll up and down on the text box. I'm sure I'm missing something which is why I'm here. :-)
Thanks in advance! :-)

check out the overflow:scroll command in the css - I'm not sure how this works with grids, however - but it could be a starting point....
hope this helps

Scrolling Text box - won't work in IE

Hey everyone. I'll admit right off the bat that I'm very new
to web design, so I'm sure I've been making some mistakes. I'm much
more of a designer than a coder, but I'm doing the best I can.
I'm wanting to have a scrolling text box embedded on some of
my pages, and have figured out how to do it, thanks largely to
these forums. I've made a CSS tag that has gotten it working
correctly - sort of.
You can see the page in question at
http://www.kylehamrick.com/testing.html
It appears to be working correctly in Firefox. However, in
IE, the text just keeps flowing down onto the page, outside of the
allotted area. What am I doing wrong?
Also, is there a way to make this look correct in
Dreamweaver? Once I add text that exceeds the table height, it
breaks up my page, though it still looks fine in the browser. Is
there something I can do to correct this?
Thanks in advance for any assistance with this. I sincerely
appreciate it.
Any other advice in regards to the page is welcome! Please
keep in mind that I'm very new to this, and it's still under
construction, so don't be TOO harsh... =)
Also, is this all I have to do? It seems that you all have a
way to examine my code and such just by having me post the url, is
that right? Is there anything else you need from me?

Anyone? Sorry, had to give this a bump. Seems it got buried
VERY quickly.
Again, I'd appreciate any guidance you can provide!

I have scroll text box that is placed in a section of the page, It is in the right place on IE, Chrome, Safari, But not in Firefox?

Can anybody tell me why and how I can fix it. The page is baystatewiring.com/blog.html

You need to make the text box float left.

Has anyone been able to get a mouse scroll wheel to work with a scrolling text box in authorware?

Has anyone been able to get a scroll wheel to work with a
scrolling text box in authorware? Is there any way to attach the
hardware of a scroll wheel to a scrolling text in a piece? Sure
would make things easier for the reader.

I doubt it. Maybe using the WinCtrls.u32? But after a few
tries years
ago (before the WinCtrols.u32), I'd pretty much given up.

Touch 2nd Gen can not scroll text box down

I have a 2nd gen Ipod Touch and want to login to a public wifi which requires accepting a text box Condition & Terms.
It says: Please scroll to the bottom of the terms and click the checkbox to show agreement before clicking on the 'Accept' botton to access the system.
My question is: there is no way I can focus on the text box only and scroll down. Please advise. Thanks,

Nope, you're done. To get iCloud you need at least a 3rd generation Touch. And, you CANNOT upgrade your 2nd Gen to make it a 3rd Gen..

Pages Text Box Question

Can I create a text box in Pages that can automatically scale vertically to fit the text inside?
I'm trying to create a modular element for a template that someone can paste any amount of text into without having to manually change the vertical scale of the text box.

Answered my own question.
Instead of creating a text box, create a table cell.

How do i make a scrolling text box?

hi, i'm looking to make a text box that the user can control the scrolling, i've made it how i want it to look already, but i haven't got a clue where to start as to how to make it actually work.
here's how i've got it set up so far, okay this is gonna take some explaining:
i've got the document made up in AS2, the movieclip known as 'Philosophy_tween' is on the main timeline, and inside that movieclip are two more child movieclips, one for the text and another for the scrollbar.
the text movieclip is set to scroll upwards, behind a masking layer using a motion tween on the parent movieclip, whereas the scrollbar movieclip motion tweens (inside itself) the scroller button. look at the attached image.
both motion tweens have a stop(); script at the beggining.
i don't know what to do after this though, so please help, thanks in advance!

i've got the nextFrame and prevFrame scripts working now, i'd only missed the brackets from those functions. i've also gotten the slider to respond to the button clicks of the up and down arrow by setting up a motion tween for the slider, so it actually works, just along with nextFrame and prevFrame functions. i've also put the slider button at the same level as the text movieclip
but what i do still need is to be able to control the slider button directly, so the user can drag it up and down and the text responds accordingly, like you said using the enterFrame function, but i don't really understand event listeners and that sort of thing, yet.

Scrolling Text Boxes

Hello there,
For my website i wish to create a text box which will detail
alot of information split into paragraphs. I was going to have this
scroll up automatically but i'd rather have manual scroll bars
which allows the user to scroll down the info themselves. How do i
do this using dreamweaver?
Thanks
I need this info quick so if anyone can help i would really
apreciate it.

Sounds like you're wanting to put the text into a div with
fixed width and height, then scroll the overflow. Like so...
<style type="text/css">
#textbox {
width:250px;
height:100px;
overflow:auto;
</style>
<div id="textarea">
..your content..
</div>

Embedding Images in a scrolling text box

I used the Flash help files to get the dynamic text box set
up for scrolling via the Property Inspector. I have Multiline
wrapping text and the HTML buttons active. The help files don't
tell you where to put the <img src> tag to reference the
images I need to embed in the text box. I'm not an ActionScripting
expert, though I can do the basics--help!

The code helps a bit, thank you. Where does it go?
The actionscripting panel says I can't apply actionscript to
the text field. Does it attach to the keyframe the text field is
located in?
If I am supposed to put the actionscript in the keyframe the
scrolling text field is located in, how can I set the width and
height of the image, and tell Flash where the image should be
placed in the text field?
Finally, I need to have a row of three images, same height,
different widths, with a line of text above and another line of
text below. How would I do this?
Thanks in advance for your help!

LOCK Text Box Question

Hi guys,
Is it possible to lock a text box but be able to edit the text? I don't want the position of the text to change but since we are using this page as a template I would like the text to be editable.

Locking a text box disable the edit function.
No way to change this behavior.
_Go to "Provide Pages Feedback" in the "Pages" menu_, describe what you wish.
Then, cross your fingers, and wait _at least_ for iWork'11

Overset text box question

All,
I upgraded to CS6 from CS5.5 (windows 7-64)
After opening a indesign 5.5 document in 6. Many of the text boxes become 'overset' when trying to alter the text with in the cells etc etc.
Also, deleting or find and replacing the text also changes the box to overset.
Just as strange, even trying to re-size the box creates the overset.
all I did here was drag the corner
Has anyone else run accross this?
any ideas on how to fix or work around?
PS: tried the file on multiple machines with same results.
thanks

This isn't terribly surprising. The text engine usually changes from version to version so text flow won't be exactly the same. When you open an old file in a new version, though, ID will not recompose the story until you actually try to work with it in some way, hence the change when you altered the frame.

Scrolling text font question

Is it possible to use more than one font size in one clip of scrolling text?
I would like some things a bit larger than others, but I think If I make multiple clips, I will have a hard time syncing them up.
Thanks in advance.

If you mean Title 3D, no, it does not do centering like Scrolling Text. Title 3D will only center 1 column nicely, not 2 columns with even spacing between the columns like you often see in feature films. You have to use Scrolling Text to do that, and it works like a charm, but you don't have the control over fonts, etc. like you do in Title 3D. <Sigh>, I wish Title 3D would do it ...

Scrolling text box errors in cs4

So i have a scrolling text on a website that im remaking but its utilizing java and for some reason when i moved it over it now says
"KEYCODEWRONG OR MISSING"
and
"NOTICE WRONG OR MISSING"
after the text i add in there its not doing it on the old site but only on the new site any reason why this would be happening?

You can, but it's not very elegant. For one thing, whatever text you have will have to basically be on another webpage addressable by URL in the iframes expression. I guess it would work, though. It's just like having two pages, where maybe one would suffice, you know?
There are some javascript examples that I have come across that would probably work. The HTML tags seem to be unreliable....I have seen some that only work on IE and not for the mozilla based browsers.
Anyways, here's an example of a scrolling iframe....it's the messageboard from my Guestmap...
http://guestmap.dirtdoog.com
As you can see...it's not great, but it's workable.

Is there a way to create a scrolling text box on my desktop?

When I watch the news, or ESPN, they always have a scrolling box that gives breaking news or updated scores. I would like that for my desktop, but I want to type what goes in it. I want the box to constantly be on top of anything I'm working on.
I thought this would be easy to find, but all of my research has been fruitless.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

How to set up a scrolling text box?

I have a page in my muse site with a diagram that fills up 2/3 of the page width. Next to it I have explanatory text that is too long to view all at once. Is there a way to make the text scroll without having the graphic move? I attach a sketch for the page structure I am trying to achieve- Thanks, David

Hi,
Here is a simpler way, Thanks to Imagine James.
In Muse, Object menu > Insert HTML...
Paste the code below and adjust details (width, height, colours... in the first line.

<div style="width:450px; height:285px; overflow:auto; color:#000000; font-size:18pt; padding-left:15px; padding-right:15px; text-align: justify; text-justify: newspaper; font-family:Open Sans;">
