textbox placement

I am having a heck of a time figuring out how to create a textbox that A)
needs to be in a specific location on a page - sandwiched between graphics,
and B) is a specific size. It will have more text than is visible is once
so a scrollbar will need to be there. Can someone point me to a page that
explains this?

thanks in advance,
Steve

Is this a text box for a form, or something else? URL?

Re: textbox placement

Try Googling for "CSS tutorial".
Textbox is placed on the page in the same way as any other HTML element
(depends on your preferences, there are many ways), but its width, height
and scrollbars can be set using CSS properties:

<br /> My text.<br />

Best,

Re: textbox placement

It's a text box that needs to sit next to a rectangular graphic.
Non-editable text. Thanks.

Re: textbox placement

actually, I need to place a rectangular graphic to the left of it, the right
of it, and below it. It's just a box that will contain a bunch of
uneditable text; more than will fit on the screen at once.

Sounds like a regular old div amongst floated images included in an outer
div would work. You'll need to set overflow accordingly.
