I know this may seem like a pretty stupid question to some of you, but I would like to know how to get a scroll bar in the area in the pic below.

I created it in photoshop and sliced and saved in imageready...

Plz do not tell me what to do with the design of the site in general... I JUST want this answered and will add more later... thanx!

go to the coding section. highlight the div your on. you'll see the div tag highlighted...

it will have a bunch of parameters, leave em as it is. add style="overflow:auto;" and poof.

You can try setting all block level elements in that div to have a width of whatever the width of that div is... that might be a bit complicated though.

Did you try using iFrame? It can be pretty useful and its probablly most efficent way to navigate thru your site...

An iframe tag will be slower because it has to load another page, and google will not index it as the same page. Don't use an iFrame.

Try setting height wherever you defined the overflow: auto;. That will limit the height, of course.
