    Default Layers in tables

    Hi.

    Ok, this is probably a VERY simple question, but as I am self taught in HTML and picking things up as I go along still, I have had this irritating problem that I just can't seem to solve.

    Basically, I want a scroll on a table cell. I could not find any other way of doing this, than putting a layer in the are required in the table cell. And alas, there is the problem, when page is viewed, if I resize the window in any shape or form, the table moves with the resizing, but the layer stays in the same exact place, thus totally being in the wrong place. I understand (I think) why this happens, but how to stop it from happening, I have no idea.

    Heh, sorry for such a devastatingly easy question I'm sure, but it has bugged me for such a long time now and I just can't seem to find any help on this matter, so thought I'd give DD forums a shoot. So, was I right to put a layer inside the table or is there any other different ways to get around this prob. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Thanks
    John

    The layer tag is Netscape-only, and not even in the latest versions, I think.

    You should apply the CSS:
    Code:
    overflow: scroll;
    to the td element.
