Scrolling table

Hi guys, just busy trying to make a website here and ive come over a problem... what i want is the website to stay the same size, and the center table to have a scroll bar on it so you can scroll through all of the text, rather than the page resizing, cant this be done with html? Cheers guys!

use a scrollable div or an iframe. divs are much better as they are W3C compliant e.g.

Code:

---

<div style="width: 400px; border: 1px #ff0000 solid; overflow: auto;">
<table width="700" border="1">
  <tr>
    <td>blah</td>
    <td>blah</td>
    <td>blah</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>blah</td>
    <td>blah</td>
    <td>blah</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>blah</td>
    <td>blah</td>
    <td>blah</td>
  </tr>
</table>
</div>

---

EDIT:

Having a bit of trouble :(

What i want to be able to do is have three tables beside eachother (or ontop of eachother if thats possible) the back one which is spread to 100% of the page to prive screen-wide background colour, one on the left which is for pictures, next one along for navigation, then the next one after that for the scrolling text! I can can draw a picture if my description isnt very clear (i kinda confused myself writing it!)

EDIT #3: Picture of what its suppose to look like at http://www.tskcomputers.co.uk/webby.jpg

Thanks,

hmmm. Not to sure about that as a format. But I gave a quick stab at that layout.here

hmm. I just noticed two things.. a) this is my 300th post.. And b) the thing no longer makes the autoscroll bar.. I will take a look later. I am off to install Return to castle wolfenstein on my linux box ! Just to see.. just to see.

Take it easy.

The table needs to be wider than the div to show the scrollbar

Cheers for your help guys, going to give it another stab today :D
