BBCodes question - scrollboxes HELP!

[*T.M.RiddlE*]

This has been driving me mad today lol ( - see ...) in the Bandaids D.A thread I'm doing a list of all the cast members in the Harry Potter films and well it's longgggggggg. I could do it as a list, but yeh it's going to take up the whole page by the time I've done and look stupid! Is there anyway I can put a scrollbox around it? I've look up on the net and tried some BBCodes for scrollboxes but nothing happens ... is scrollboxes not set for these forums ('cause I saw that you can turn off some codes/have custom ones etc)?? if it isn't available PLEASE could we have it if possible? It's a very useful code to have when you're just posting lots of information in a post that's going to take up most of the page lol! I'd also need it for our member list too as that's getting longer!! xx

Well yeah you're right, usually forums will have html and javascript turned off in posts, meaning its harder to do something like this. Apart from getting a javascript code I have no idea how you would do it on a forum, sorry.

But you could try putting it into a frame. Basically what that is is a part of another website opening up in a small section of another webpage. For that, you'd have to upload a file with the list of names to a server (I have a server, you could use mine), and then put a frame code into your post (you'd say how big you'd want the frame to be, if the list didnt fit in the size you've set the frame as, a scrollbar would appear). But codes don't work when posting here as far as I know. So I don't know, sorry!!

You could put the names in 3 columns or more, it would be 3 times less huge.or more.

Awwwww poo doesn't look good then!!! Hmmmmmm I'll have to have a think. Yeh I could do it in coloumns but it might get a bit confusing because they've got two names (actor's name and the character they played) hmmmmmmm will have a think! Thanks for your help guys!!! xx

How about doing it out on powerpoint and then printscreening it, and uploading it as an image?
