Best way to achieve customizable text area

hello,

I am looking how to create a customizable text area. I thougth of using iframes but we all know those don’t work well in anything but IE. I also tried using a scrollable div but I don’t think you can change the scrollbar characteristics in anything other than IE.

So, how do I achieve something like [url=http://www.sammysosa.pointclark.net/adams-race]this[/url] that works in firefox and IE?

**Note: Only look at the link above in IE as it uses customized scrollbars**

Is flash my only option? I sure hope not because I don’t have flash, don’t feel like buying it and learning how to use it (although it seems this would be easy to achieve in flash).

For what it’s worth, [url=http://www.sammysosa.pointclark.net/bunker/aboutus.php]this is the website that I am designing[/url]
