Has anyone figured out a way to limit the size of the news feed module when displaying large feeds?  I want to consolidate about 2-3 feeds into one feed, and give the users the option to scroll down as needed to see additional articles.  I have a limited amount of space on the web page to do this, just want a blurb in the right or left panel.  I don't want to just limit it to like the first 5 or 6 articles, I would like all the articles to be available, just would like them to be able to scroll down to see more.  I see that I can use vscroll to have it scroll automatically and can adjust the size for that, but not really what I was looking for when dealing with a large number of articles.

I did see some comments about possibly editing the xsl file but no clear solution in previous articles, honestly I'm still new at this.  Found the files, but couldn't figure out what to change in there.  Help!

Thanks in advance,

Don

use a div around the display area with given size and "overflow:auto" style.

Thanks, I think I got it. For anyone trying to do this in the future here's what I did. Make a copy of DesktopModules\News\Transformations\default.xsl, name the copy something like scrollbar.xsl and edit the copy. Add the div style tag right after template match IE:
Adjust width and height as needed. Add ending div style tag at the end after for each and template IE
Set the module to use the new xsl file. Thanks for the help! Don

I am not sure whether this helps other users, due to HTML being rendered directly.
