i've got a few questions that i need help
1) is it possible to add a scoll in a table rather than a frame because i made my website on tables and not on frames.

2) is it possible to lock the scoll on the area outsize my table because i'm making a website that is full screen and everytime i try to stretch my tables to the end of the screen, a scroll bar appears.

3) my image is too small to be put as a background. thus it gets repeated all over the screen. is it possible to stretch the image so that it will not be repeated all over?

4) are there eany other animations rather than marquee for dreamweaver?

5) i have a lyrics fiolder where i put lyrics inside. but i update the folder very often. is there a way to create a page that will go thru the folder and list out all the songs as links?
for example:

My folder consist of the 3 txt files
->Lyrics<folder>
---------a.txt
---------b.txt
---------c.txt

so my lyrics.html displays the links as follows:
->MY LYRICS WEBSITE<heading>
->_______________<border>
->a.txt<link>
->b.txt<link>
->c.txt<link>
lets say now i add in a d.txt and e.txt into the Lyrics<folder>:
->Lyrics<folder>
---------a.txt
---------b.txt
---------c.txt
---------d.txt
---------e.txt
then without having to update the html .. it automatically displays:
->MY LYRICS WEBSITE<heading>
->_______________<border>
->a.txt<link>
->b.txt<link>
->c.txt<link>
->d.txt<new link>
->e.txt<new link>

thnx all u guys for helping!

1- yes, you can use an IFrame
2- i'm confused, if you mean can you lock the browser, sure as long as anotehr page opens it
3- if you strech an image it will get distorted, you can specify if you want the image to repeat and on what axis
4- dreamweaver has a timeline where you can make animations
5- yes you can, you will need a server side scripting language such as ASP, PHP

you can also scroll divs which is a little browser safer than iframes

you have to use percents for our table and div widths....search the forum I have made many samples of this

no you will have to make it bigger or restrict tiling altogether using CSS

Using DHTML you can animate divs....also there are animated gifs...Javascript is powerful you can pull off many things

Yes you can do this in ASP using the FSO object and XML....I have done something similar in the past.....DO a search on FSO or File System Object in ASP.

Set the body background color to the table background color......Also try setting the table to width=100% instead of an absolute value too.

i think your scrollbar problem can be solved by using the scroll="no" tag.

eg



<body scroll="no" text="#FFFFFF" link="#FF0000">
