Use Cascading Style Sheets to create a floating text paragraph. First, add the <STLYE> attribute in the document's <HEAD> section:
<STYLE TYPE="text/css">
<!-- TEXTAREA
{ position:absolute; top:60; left: 25; width:200; height:100; font: 8pt
Verdana; background:Ivory; margin:5px; border:none; }
--> </STYLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
Now, add the content you want to display in the window:
<TEXTAREA WRAP="virtual"> Visit my new Web site at: http://www.myWebsite.com
Let us know what you think!
</TEXTAREA>
</BODY>
</HTML>
You now have a floating text paragraph complete with scroll bars.

doc = Server.CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")
doc.load(Request)
