I need to make an html code available for people to copy and paste into their profiles. I've already made the banner and hyperlinked it, i just need a scrollbox to post underneath it to show the html. I've seen band pages with banners and code boxes like this, but I cant figure it out.
im no good with html, and i'm sorry if there's already a topic out there about this.
thanks!

thats exactly what i meant, but the code for hiding the banner and showing the html didnt work...
this is for a myspace page, if you're wondering
Check out this site and they will generate one for you: http://www.quackit.com/myspace/myspace_code_generators/myspace_scrollbox_generator.cfm
but you HAVE to add the code tags <code>...<code> in the box since you want to display a code in the box
What you need to do is add code tags before and after your text to go in the scrolling box like this
<code>your code hereHere is the code to add a scrolling box
<style type="text/css">
div.myspace-scroll-box {
height:100px;
width:200px;
font:8pt/10pt Verdana;
overflow:scroll;
}
</style>
<div class="myspace-scroll-box">
Enter your scroll box text here... once there's enough text, the box will grow scroll bars!
</div>
Here is what it looks like:
It's all yours, smartmom...
Well because I was placing a code in the comment above I couldn't show you a code tag.
Put this at the begining of the code you want in the box and at the end of the code you want in the box
<code>your code goes here</code>
That will allow your code to show with out showing your banner - I hope that made sense...
okay, i have a banner. i want the html from the banner to show up instead of the banner so people can copy and paste the code from the banner. when i post the html from the banner inside the scroll box code, the banner shows up in the scroll box. not just the code.
that's my problem.
did that help??
i understand how to make scroll boxes, but i have a problem with the banner showing up instead of just the html.

Could you post or PM the URL so maybe we/I can see what you mean?
Will this help?

You put the code to the banner inside the box so users can copy and paste it. I'm assuming that's what you want.
I have seen scroll boxes that can be seen in Firefox, too. I don't know why this code is just for IE but it's the only scrollbox code we have here.
edit: Google is my friend. Google should be everyone's friend.
