# Div use in WordPress..

 * My site is located here: [http://cincynews.net](http://cincynews.net)
 * Here’s my problem: Each post will contain a video clip and text. I want to format
   the text with a div, but can’t do so without also formatting the video clip.
 * Specifically, I want the text to scroll, a feature that ordinarily is possible
   like this:
    <div style=” width: 400px; height: 250px; overflow: scroll;”> “My
   text …” </div>
 * However, as I say, it’s not working out that way. When I try the inline div above,
   nothing happens, even though I place the text in the proper place within the 
   document.
 * How do I solve this problem?

 * why not create a .scroll in your css and apply it as a div class with those values
   to where you need to?

 * “why not create a .scroll in your css and apply it as a div class with those 
   values to where you need to?”
 * I think I tried that without success.
 * It seems the only way to apply css to the text is within the post element, but
   the problem with that, as I say, is that it includes the video which means the
   video falls within the scroll box.
