if u use css you can do:

<div id="whatever">
your stuffs
</div>

then in the css you put:

#whatever {height:10px; width:10px;overflow:scroll;}

(change #whatever to some other name and set the width and ehight to whateevr u want.

if you want a box in the middle of a picture, u you can use background image
or you can use four images one above, one right and left of the iframe and one below

attached is one using background image

there may be better ways... i used notepad :D

Ok i got this far:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"><html><body background="background.png"> <center>
<iframe src="update.htm" width="600" height="200" frameborder="3" marginheight="3">
</center></body></html>

Now how do i get my test in there? I want my test to be white and italic.

Thanks for your patience :01:
