Found the help guide on scrollable text, but what if you have images as well? Example: Row of staff mugshots on the left with corresponding text descriptions to the right. How would you make the whole lot scroll inside a window?

The best way to handle this is to format the scrolling content as a separate HTML file. Then import it into SiteGrinder using an xmedia layer with the scroll hint. That way you can take advantage of HTML formatting features like tables and floating images.

Well that sounds great...unfortunately I have no prior experience in website design, so tables and floating thingies mean nothing to me...I just do Photoshop! However I'm a fast learner, so I'll look it up and see if I can make the most of your advice! Any resources you can recommend for getting me up to speed?

There are ways to export your scrollable content with SG from one doc and then import it with xmedia into your main doc, but it's not ideal.

Ok no worries, I'll find a way round it instead, maybe using SG's roll-over actions. Thanks anyway!
