HTML Coding Question - Clickable Link In Scrolling Text Box?

Does anyone know how to put a clickable link inside one of those scrolling text box form elements?

I tried coding the href= stuff inside the box but it didnt work, it has to be possible.

I did, that isnt what im after LOL

[edit]

But i see why you think that was, im not wanting the text to scroll, i want static text that the surfer physically has to move the scroller on the form element (like the reply box to a thread on gww) to read the text above or below the area he/she is currently reading.

Eh, I'm not gonna start ICQ. :(

But what you are wanting is an Iframe, not a scrolling text box. I use them here on UKNM.

The scrollbars aren't showing though because all of the contents of the Iframe are visible in the box. If there were more links in the box then the scrollbars would appear.

No i dont want to use iFrames, im actually wanting to use a regular html form text box and put a clickable link in that.

Btw, your web editor should support Iframes. If not, here's a resource.
