Scrollable embedded view

Here is an easy way to make an embedded view (displayed using HTML) scrollable in a table cell.

Copy the code below into your form and mark is as PassThru.

Using the overflow control "auto" and a tag, we add a vertical scroll bar to the view.

Sorry, but this was tested in IE5 only ! 

<table height="150" width="400" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
<tr valign="top">
<td colspan="2" bgcolor="#3366FF" >
<--Insert view name here-->
</td></tr>
<td bgcolor="#ffcc00" >
<--Insert links here-->
</td>
<td valign="top" height="130" >
<span style="height:100%;width:100%;overflow:auto">
<--Embed view here-->
</span>
</td></tr></table>
