Is it possible to create a dynamic field in wich an external txt-file is loaded. With a scroll bar that allows the user to scroll the text. But I don’t want a standard scrollbar (to be honest I never got those working 🙂 ) The poblem is that the text could one day be very long and the other just a few rules. So I can’t work with constant values. Does somebody have a solution to my problem?
