[thelist] Suggestions on scrollable window

[Tyme]

An alternative to IFRAMES that I use is the overflow:auto style property on
a <DIV>.
(Example: <DIV style="width:600px; height:400px; overflow:auto">...</DIV>.)
Unfortunately for you, this does not accommodate NN4.  But, no surprise,
does work for IE4, IE5, and NN6 -- PC.  (Actually, not yet sure about Mac.
Will have mine up soon.)

               http://www.no-pun.com/

(These sites have not yet been fully tested.  So, if you encounter a
problem, other than in NN4 or < 4 browsers, you might let me know offlist.)
