I need to create a lot of pages where both items on the page can scroll, similar to the link below:
Is theree an action that can do this, I suppose its a little old fashioned, but it gives a viewer a chance to view both the drawing and the list together without having long pages

That site uses a Frameset to achieve it - so no actions required - just an old fashioned, non SEO friendly, unbookmarkable construction.
You could do something similar with iFrames too

Hi, I tried iFrames, but I must have had some settings wrong as it did not seem any different, I will try again, but I understand what you say about it being unfriendly, I just cannot think of any other way that the consumer can view both together

You can place the content into boxes that are too small for their contents, then set those boxes’ overflow to Auto or Scroll. That gets you an inline construction with scrollbars without any sort of frame needed, which means you won’t need to make three pages for every one you want to show. The example you posted makes a lot of sense for a huge database of content, where you have lots of virtual pages possible with combinations of products and their details. If your site is comparatively small, then iframes or overflow might work fine for you.

No - initially try Frames
Go to Window>Frames
Click on the + button to ‘create a new frameset’ where you will be presented with 16 possible configurations. Choose the one that most closely matches what you are trying to achieve.

My previous reply was in response to David’s post - not Walter’s. Just in case there was any confusion…
But I must reiterate ‘Frames are Bad’ - for all sorts of reasons. I am trying to deal with such a legacy site and its associated problems myself.

I used to use frames a lot when I first started designing web sites and even produced a couple of sites that used nested frames just to get the correct combination of pages loaded. (Shudder)
Knowing now what a pain framesets are in terms of usability if I needed to create or update a site that used a mixture of product descriptions then I think I’d substitute the frameset for a simple PHP page that loads each page partial into a flat page. The end effect would be pretty much the same but the user would see a single page rather than a frameset.
Regards,
Tim.
