CSS and Text inclusion

[creative]

Is there a way to include body text in a css and have it dynamically import into a <div> tag?


Also, is what would the css look like if you wanted to have a <div> tag that scrolled in a certain size? Like an iframe without all the browser issues.

No. CSS can be used to produce dynamic content, but it's not designed as a mechanism for inserting significant amounts of content. It's also not supported by IE.

#your-div {
  height: ...;
  width: ...;
  overflow: auto;
}

It still has issues. Not all browsers will support it, and it could cause usability problems if the document itself requires scrollbars.
