How can I add a scrolling textbox that you can not delete the words from online?
Anyone know?

A textarea element? Set the READONLY attribute. And/or DISABLED.

You can put the text in a div tag also, and set the overflow css property to scroll.

[code18928ef03e6]textarea name="theText" rows="5" cols="20" readonly[/code18928ef03e6]
The above is HTML 4.0 standard, however if you need to be XHTML compliant, you have to actually set the readonly attribute to a value, like so
[code18928ef03e6]textarea name="myText" rows="5" cols="20" readonly="true"[/code18928ef03e6]
(I left the tag brackets off because the forum has a bug with HTML parsing since the move)
Of course you should also include value with the text you want displayed.
