Scroll section on a body page possible?

Hello .. I'm building a directory site using frontpage 02. Im using all borders to hold ads and navigation etc. Some of the content in the directory pages { within the body pages } are quite large. I thought a good way to remedy this and make it easier fo
r viewers would be to have a scroll that holds this "sub-title type" content within the body page approx. 70% at the bottom section if possible.
I was wondering how you can make such a scroll.........I looked at the FP template sections... I thought this application could be found within frames. Is there a page template that could do the job and allow me to keep my common left and right hand borde
rs for my advertising? I'D appreciate it If anyone knows what's best in this situation... take care. John

PS...Also I've noticed some developers are able to change the colour of the mouse scroll arrow to match the site they've built....How would they that.

You would have to use a IFrame, however if you want to the site to be index,
this approach is not good.

Here is a example of one I did, but it is database driven:

or an alternative is to use overflow:auto, eg
<div style="height:200px; overflow:auto; width:200px;">
....text....vertical scrollbars will appear as needed.....
</div>
This will give pretty much the same effect as an iframe but might be easier.
