Hi Everyone,
I am trying to create my webpage such that I need to list all the images in a box where there is a scroll bar. because I am trying to control the box to have a certain size. For example, if I have a textarea with 100cm X 100cm and I have 10 images each with the size 50cm X 50cm so the screen can only fit 2 images and in order to view the rest I can use the scroll bar to slide up or down to view the other images Thanks in advance for your help |

You can't put images in a text area. You can't put any tags at all there, just plain text.
What you want can be done with a DIV and some CSS. http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/visufx.html#propdef-overflow If you need a CSS primer... http://htmlhelp.com/reference/css/ |

What's wrong with this way? It isn't hard, if that's what you are fearing.

Hi,
I took your advise and read throught What you want can be done with a DIV and some CSS. http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/visufx.html#propdef-overflow If you need a CSS primer... http://htmlhelp.com/reference/css/ from there i got this code ----------------- <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0//EN"> <HTML> <HEAD> <STYLE type="text/css"> <!-- #container1 { position: absolute; top: 2in; left: 2in; width: 2in } #container2 { position: absolute; top: 2in; left: 2in; width: 2in; visibility: hidden; } --> </STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY> <P>Choose a suspect:</P> <DIV id="container1"> <IMG alt="Al Capone" width="100" height="100" src="suspect1.jpg"> <P>Name: Al Capone</P> <P>Residence: Chicago</P> </DIV> <DIV id="container2"> <IMG alt="Lucky Luciano" width="100" height="100" src="suspect2.jpg"> <P>Name: Lucky Luciano</P> <P>Residence: New York</P> </DIV> <FORM method="post" action="http://www.suspect.org/process-bums"> <P> <INPUT name="Capone" type="button" value="Capone" onclick='show("container1");hide("container2")'> <INPUT name="Luciano" type="button" value="Luciano" onclick='show("container2");hide("container1")'> </FORM> </BODY> ----------------- you see in here, this code is calling <INPUT name="Capone" type="button" value="Capone" onclick='show("container1");hide("container2")'> Javascript onclick='show("container1");hide("container2")' but in the code this 2 function is no where to be found. Thanks. |

I'm afraid I'm totally confused now. What exactly in the above did you get from the pages I linked to?
I don't understand. Have you copied that from somewhere or is it your own attempts so far? You asked about scrolling images in a box, but the code you posted seems to be about hiding one box and showing another. |

Hi Pandy,
Thank you every much for your help. Basically I am trying to creat a conventional web page where there is a header on the top of the page, and at the middle section, there is a Menu on the left and content on the right and footer at the bottom of the page. In the middle section where I have the left menu and content, I am trying to control it with a specific height. In the left menu that is where I tried to create a menu with a scroll bar and it contains a list of images. For example, with a specific height, it can only fit 4 images and let say I have 10 images in total so I can use the scroll bar to see the rest of the image. and each image is a link (ie, <a href="page1.html">page1</a> ) Hopefully I am using the correct terminoloy Please help, I'd greatly appreicated. Thank again. |

OK, so what I said to start with then. Use CSS and overflow.
Where does the JavaScript come into all this? Could you post a link to what you have now? It doesn't matter if it's broken. It would make it easer to see what you try to do. |

Hi Pandy,
I am trying to implement it locally on my computer first. Once the design is done that I will put it on the server. Thanks. |

Oh, well. I'm afraid there isn't much I can do then.
