Does anybody know how to create scrolling text in Dreamweaver. I can’t use Flash and its scroll bar component on this one, so I have to actually create it in Dreamweaver.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Sorry. I have a paragraph I want to fit into a cell, but it is too big. I want a scroll bar on its side so I can move it up and down to see the text. Just like in flash with the text scroller component.

Or you could use the overflow CSS property.  
code:

```auto
<div style="width:50px; height:50px; overflow:auto;">stuff goes here</div>

```

use overflow:scroll if you want the scrollbar to always show.
