Link to anchor in a scrolling text box?

Hi,
I am designing a page that has a left menu and middle text
section. the client wants the top and left stay in screen all the
time and middle section, which is a long text, to be scrollable and
moves up and down with no effect on left and top. and the left menu
links should make the middle text jump to the right section of it.
I know how to use frame and know to use the anchors. but I
don't know how to make both work together, or if it is possible
this way.
or I might need Javascript for the whole thing?
I appreciate all your help.

You don't really need to use frames for this. Look at the CSS
property overflow.

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!

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,
Link for the screen shot:

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..

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!

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.

How to link a text box to an anchor frame in the master pages?

Ok, as the title states, we are trying to figure out if it is possible to link a text box to an anchor frame in the master page. When you look at our Master Page layout, we have a text box in the upper left hand corner of the left hand page, this is used for our machine serial numbers. Then we have an anchor frame that automatically fills out the figure number. Let's say I have pages 2 & 3 (left & right), they have a S/N at the top of the page for the machine, then pages 4 & 5 have a different S/N. If I have to add more pages in between pages 2 & 3 (bumping the current 4 & 5 to 6 & 7), the anchor frame bumps to the next page, but the S/N text box doesn't. Is there a way to fix it so that they both move to the next page? Thanks for the help.
P.S. I can include images and other info if needed.

I have included a two pictures that should help me explain.
Master Page:
This is the master page set up, the "Page Text Box" has the flow set to "B" while the S/N text box has the flow set to "A". This setup is for our parts manuals, the left page is usually an illustration while the right page is usually a parts list. The text box, anchored frame & paragraph tag are empty in the master page set up. The "page text box" has a flow of "B" and the "S/N text box" has a master flow of "A".
Body Page 1:
When we create new pages, the paragraph tag automatically fills in the figure title on the left page, then we add an anchor frame within the text box to hold the illustration. You will notice that I added in a "test" serial number at the top of the page. Now if I need to go back and add two pages before this, the anchor frame, illustration and parts list will move to a new page, but the S/N text box will not. The "Before S/N TBD" would stay on the original page.
This is what happens, the text box containing the illustration and the parts list "bump" to the next page, but the S/N text box does not. So the question we have is there a way to link that text box to the page so when we create new pages the S/N text box moves with the illustration.
Does this help?
Thanks for the assistance Error7103.

How do I add a text box to an ibook?

How do I add a text box to an ibook page?

Not very user-friendly IMHO, but ok here goes:
Place a picture of the band in your body background's CSS
with repeat:
no-repeat. Then add a scrolling division to your html page -
like so:
<div align="right">
<div style="font-family:'Verdana', 'Arial', 'Sans-serif';
font-size:12px;
color:#FFFFFF; text-align: left; background-color:#000000;
border:2px solid;
overflow: auto; padding:10px; width:auto; height:200px;
border-color:
#333333;"><h3>Your heading goes
here</h3><br><br> More text goes
here<br><br> and more text goes
here...</div>
<p> </p>
<div style="font-family:'Verdana', 'Arial', 'Sans-serif';

Creating Scrolling text panels in Indesign CS5 for Interactive SWF's

Hi,
Is it possible to do as it says in the title?
I want to add some text panels and provide the ability to scroll through the text.
It will be output to an Interactive SWF file online.
Can this be done in Indesign CS5?

Hi,
Thanks for the updated information.
I created a scrooling text box in Flash CS5 and created the swf, that works fine.
Importing into Indesign CS5 isnt as straight forward as I expected?
I get the SWF icon on the Indesign Page, but previewing or publishing only shows the SWF icon, no Scrolling Text box displays.
Im ust add that if I click on the SWF icon the Text box displays, but I want it to display by default?
Are there more steps I need to take?
