Hey all-- I was wondering if anyone could explain how this was done. Click on the link and notice the "Headlines" section. It has its own scroll bar. My first thought was that it was setup with frames. If anyone knows how exactly how, i would appreciate the help.

Thanks in advance

It is done with an iFrame... which is basically a layer that displays another page through a set width and height.

There is an extension that is on this site that allows you to build some really cool iFrame pages, and it has some demonstration iFrames too to give you an idea of the different uses for them.

Thanks Connman-- that really does help me out alot. I see that the extension is like $20. Is there a free way of doing it? I guess that i would pay for it but only if there isn't a free option.

iFrames can be done through simple code, the extension just allows you to set parameters more easily.

To create an iFrame, you simply need code similar to the following in the location you want it displayed:


<font color=green>&lt;iframe name="SomeName" align="center" src="viewable_page.htm" width="100" height="100" scrolling="Default" frameborder="0"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;
</font id=green>

Of course, all those variables are editable - allowing for different configurations.
