IANAM, but I would hesitate to delete this, as it shows (by example) something nifty that can be done. Oh, and moo to you too! ---

Now, if I figured out how to make it _scroll_, that would be something. No, I wasn’t being sarcastic at all, **inkleberry**. As **Feydeau** said – your experiment showed up something which is quite nifty, and I haven’t seen done much around here before. To me, it’s different, and quite cool. ---

Odd. When I highlight the text inside, I can’t drag the scroll bar, although I can click to make it go up or down. BTW, **Polerius** , I think she meant horizontal scrolling like the HTML marquee tag. ---
