Does anyone use Dreamweaver to create and maintain websites? I'm stuck!

This may be a very basic question, but for the life of me I can't find the answer. I need to be able to create a box where the text would scroll top to bottom. I have some text that is actually too long for the space and I don't want to have to change the design of one particular page because I have too much text. I can't figure out what to do to get that little scroll bar to appear on the right!

Any suggestions?

Thank you!

Yvone, try this and let me know how it works for you (you can switch out the height and width with whatever size you want it to actually be...):

Keep in mind though that this could potentially hinder your user experience - if you make people work for the info they're going to look elsewhere.

<div style="overflow:auto;height:10 0px; width:100x;">

</div>
