Greetings:

I don't know if I am wording this right.. But I would like to
create "frames" with text in them that do not overflow if I
increase the font size (using the browser).

Try something like this with content in the div:

<div style="margin-left:0px; margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px;
overflow:scroll; width:975px; height:370px;
    border-left:solid 1px black; border-right:solid 1px black;
border-bottom:solid 1px black;
    scrollbar-face-color:##c7d0e0; scrollbar-highlight-color: ##e0e7f7;
scrollbar-shadow-color:##999999;
    scrollbar-3dlight-color:##e0e7f7; scrollbar-arrow-color:##0000cc;
scrollbar-track-color:##EFF2F9; /* lightblue */
    scrollbar-darkshadow-color:##cccccc;">
</div>

This will start scrolling when the content exceeds the width/height
requirements.

Mike

Please don't mess with my scrollbar colors. I am used to recognizing
them in the color I have set on my computer. Light blue is not one of
them...

And 975px is well wider than my browser window; you want to give me a
horizontal scrollbar just to read whatever your content is?
