I have just noticed some posts that VSD does not have a scrolling text box but these posts were a couple of years old. Has this feature been added since then and I just cant find it?
Seems something that most web sites would use. Im not all that experienced so if anyone has a solution then please use basic expressions to explain how I can do this.

Thanks Youall

You can use a scrolling div.



Insert into an HTML box.
The above code makes this.

THanks Eric that very helpfull. What do the characters <br />
mean at the end of each line ? I have document with about 3 A4 pages that I want in the scroll box, do i need to put this at the end of each line?

Hiya larikn,

The <br /> at the end of a line means a line break. Tells the code that anything that comes after that has to go to the next line. Sort of like a typewriter's carriage return. Hope that helps

Thats hot....I saved my Word Doc as HTML and just pasted it straight in. Kept fonts formatting spacing.....everything !!!

Thanks awsomly !

How do you change the color if you don't know the HTML code for the color you want?

Hi John, Would you use the code if you had an easy way to get it?

I find that the CoffeeCup Website Color Schemer is my right hand for things like that. There are a lot of sites that have HTML color numbers too. I love the color schemer though, helps me keep track of all the different colors and color numbers I use in a site so I can go back and refer to them, copy the code, etc. without having to scan my site pages for the color again. Works pretty slick. Allows you to keep scheme files for it too. Give it a trial run and see how it works out for you

right close to Coffee Cup for helpfulness! That's where I took first baby steps of learning to code.
