Default Scrolling text



Hi, Does anyone know how to create a box with scrolling text? I would like to present lots of text in a small area and be able to reveal the text with a scroll bar. Similar to the way an inline frame would work.

Similar to this...

Thanks for any help.

You can use a Floating Box/Layer and set it to scroll the overflow in CSS.

Place a Layer/Floating Box on your page where you want the text to appear, set the width and height of the box to what you want the text to appear as.

Then click the stairstep icon in the upper right of the page.

Click the layer name you have created (probably #layer1).

Then in the Block Properties tab (cross of arrows icon), click Clipping and set Overflow to Scroll

Set Clipping to Rect.

Place the box dimensions in the spaces given, width in Right and height in Bottom, leave Top and Left as auto.

Then add all of your text to the box in layout.

It won't look right in GL layout, but it should look right in the browser.

Let me know if that works for you.
