Scrolling text box?

8 years ago

There is no need for a plugin, those are simple html <textarea> elements.

You can test it out by going to your site, editing a page in Wordpress (make sure you select "text" editor, not "visual"), add

<textarea style="width: 100%; height: 400px;">
Whatever text you want here...
</textarea>

PS: I just took the styles of the textarea from the site you linked, you can set width and height to whatever you want.
PSS: Note that visitors can type inside these textareas. Only they can see if they type in there (it won't affect other visitors), but just be aware. You can disable editing by making the first tag "<textarea style="width: 100%; height: 400px;" disabled>".
