News Page - Content Box - Layout Design help

[jimfries]

I've been working on my website (www.DistortedGuild.com) for awhile now, and came across another website (www.tankspot.com) that has a very interesting front page (news Page), with multiple Content Blocks, some with a predesigned box size and scroll bar.

I've searched and searched through these forums, but was not able to find anything that would point me in the right direction, or anybody who has this modification available. Can anybody assist on how to accomplish this? I understand enough code to get myself into trouble, but would really like to get this design onto my own website.

Thanks for your time.

Dont know what you really need, a scroll box or that content position?

- For scroll box, just use css like

{width: ; height; overflow: scroll)

- Put your widget and format by CSS, i can point you how to do it if you make a screenshot then describe what you need exactly.

Well, if you look at Tankspot.com, they have two news blocks on the top of their Home Page, both with scrollbar's, that keeps the stories in a neat simple area. That is what I'm attempting to achieve.

Yup, it's easy for you. Just take that widget, find the class or id control its style. Then add after {

height: (N)px;
overflow: scroll;

Replace the (N) within your wanted height. The code mean if the content flow out that height, it will add scroll.
