How to Use a Scrollbar Menu on MySpace

A scrollbar enables you to see all of the content in a confined area. When designing a page layout on MySpace, you can put a menu in such a location. By so doing, you provide a navigation that links to other websites you want your visitors to see. HyperText Markup Language (HTML) and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) can work together to create the menu you want. Use the modules tool in your MySpace account to enter your scrollbar menu code.

Instructions

      Log in to your MySpace account and click the "Profile" link in the menu bar.

      Click the "HTML Box" on your profile and drag it to a top area where you want your scrollbar menu to display. MySpace gives you the option to place this module under your profile name at the top or in the upper, right hand column.

      Hover your mouse over the right corner of your HTML box and click the "Settings" link that displays. Place your cursor in the text box that opens.

    • 5

      Type the following HTML and CSS code to create the area that displays your menu with the scrollbar:
      <div style="overflow: scroll">
      </div>

    • 6

      Type your menu items between the div tags. Enter "<a href="website address here">" before each entry and type a closing "</a>" tag after each one to make links. Your complete code now looks like this example:
      <div style="overflow: scroll">
      <a href="website address here">Menu 1</a>
      <a href="website address here">Menu 2</a>
      <a href="website address here">Menu 3</a>
      </div>
