Your problems maybe solved by looking at the ultimate slicing guide.

One piece of advice do not use photoshop save for web slice feature, you just run into problems. I again urge you to use the tut, there is nothing too big or intimidating about it the excuse is just , the tut is in depth and detailed. If you want a scroll bar in every individual content box, you probably have no alternative but using iframes.

EDIT: do you mean the gradient is screwing up? if so then thats a graphic problem. again use iframes and put this :

<style type="text/css">
body{
background-image: url(image.gif);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
</style>

Any body else feel free to offer a solution.

correct, just modify your table so it's something like the following

<table>
  <tr>
    <td>
    <div style="width:100px; height:100px; overflow:auto;">
    <!-- CONTENT GOES HERE -->
    </div>
    </td>
  </tr>
</table>

Basically just add that div tag into the cell you want to have the scroll bar, then adjust the height and width as neccessary.

p.s. i swear this question has be answerd 1,000 times, how come nobody thought of it??

Edit: correction, coolaid beat me to the punch (which is sorta ironic if you think about that sentance for a little bit). He got the exact thread i was thinking about

lol, thanks guys. i dont know div layers. does any one know any good tutorials on it???

[coolaid]

unless you wanna create a site entirely in divs, dont bother, cause then you'll probably just end up adding divs inside tables which wouldnt be needed. but thers a tutorial on my site that goes over creating you first webpage in divs/css.

but now, if you dont wanna switch to divs, add the styles into the td of the table. e.g.

<table>
 <tr>
   <td style="width:100px;height:100px;overflow:auto;">
   <!-- CONTENT GOES HERE -->
   </td>
 </tr>
</table>

Dreamweaver is far better in comparison to Frontpage I can't imagine giving up Dreamweaver for Frontpage

Even though i would seriously recommend using something like notepad to code, don't get rid of DW, it's a much more powerful application than Frontpage.
