Need vertical scroll code for 3 column web page

I need a better tutorial than the out of date books I own or I can find using Google. If someone has a place they would recommend, please provide a link.

I have a web page that is 3 column. I would like each column to vertical scroll separately. I would also like to keep the jump code in the left column if that is possible.

Go here for the my web page and source code. http://www.texasflyfishers.org/flytie-2.html

Hi Dafydd, I believe you're looking for the overflow property. There is a brief description and example here.

Good luck. ;-)

or of course you could use frames. Though i think they are often frowned upon.
But they generally work.

Code:


<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Frameset//EN"
   "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/frameset.dtd">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>home page</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<FRAMESET cols="50%, *">
  <FRAME src="menu.html">
  <FRAMESET rows="100, 200">
      <FRAME src="left.html">
      <FRAME src="/cgi-bin/feed.cgi">
  </FRAMESET>
  <NOFRAMES>
      <P>This frameset document contains stuff
 </NOFRAMES>
</FRAMESET>
</HTML>

Thank you for the responses and links. I think you've given me enough to keep me entertained for a few days.
