Question

I have a job to develop a website. My client wants it so that there is a header, a menu and for the content a rectangle-like box in which you can scroll the text. So that header and menu don’t move but the text in the box does.

It should look like this:

***********header image ***********
menu menu menu menu

--------------
| you       ||
| can       || 
| scroll in ||
| this box  ||
|_____________

• Is my only option to implement this an iframe?
• Would it be bad practice to use an iframe for this?

Answer 1

You can use a normal div and set the overflow property to ‘scroll’ in the CSS. An iFrame would be “bad” practice in this instance.
