Doable with CSS (might even be a cross-browser solution for this - see the css
zen garden design at - http://www.csszengarden.com/?cssfile=052%2F052%2Ecss -
the central column is a scrollable area, and works on IE and Mozilla). As its a
CSS thing I'm not sure its something that needs addressing in the tag itself,
perhaps it can be addressed with some decent example code? I may have a play
with this myself.

Good ideas!

Couldn't this be easily improved by using Apache-POI's HSSF API
(http://jakarta.apache.org/poi/hssf/index.html)? I've used it before and it
works fairly well.
