I believe marquee's are the scrolling boxs you're looking for (unless you're good with javascript).

As for the transparent bg. I believe that's an IE only attribute, and you can simply add this to the textbox's tag

style="background:transparent;"

style="background:transparent;overflow: y;"

he was actually referring to the iframe.

and about the background, the site you linked to doesn't use a transparent background but it uses a background image that stays in the same spot.

to do that, he made the iframe with the url.

<iframe src="webpage.html"></iframe>

then on webpage.html, he used a background image with a width and height set to the right values, then he added this in the body tag:

<body background="images/newbackground.gif" bgproperties="fixed">
