Trying to make the postbit...

[jarnuts]

a scrollable frame...

like the reply frame is when the (post reply) button is clicked and you type to enter your reply...

I want the the outcome (the postbit) to be scrollable ..
I don't want to use iFrames and I was told i would need to make a hack for this...

Reference this thread (http://www.vbulletintemplates.com/mods/showthread.php?s=&threadid=2719) for what I am trying to do.

basically...I want the signature to stay where it is...
and when excess text is entered...the post would then be scrollable...

i think you could try using a textbox type thing like the quick reply box, with the default being the post and make it so it cant' be changed

Hmm... I think I know how to do this, but it isn't a code hack, and is IE specific. Hmm...I can't find my source. Try this:

in your postbit template, put this before the part you want to scroll:
<div style="overflow:auto;height:500;">
and this after:
</div>

You can change the height number. Be aware, however, that this will make it take up the specified height even if it is smaller.

and this will work with any browser?

As I said, it is browser specific. I believe it will work with IE5.5+ and NS6+. It may work with other browsers, get some and check. Anything under or other, and it will display like a normal div. If you want broader support, use an IFRAME, but you already said you don't want to do that, so your options are limited. To the extent of my knowledge, you cannot use HTML formatting in a textarea.
