Split a Long Webpage into Two?

We got a long visitors registration webpage and wide screens. I take time to scroll down and find the names. We have chrome installed and windows 8 running. Is it possible to get a split screen and have a long webpage divided/splits in two sessions with top half and bottom half side by side in the same window?

    Why can't you turn the screens 90 degrees around/portrait and then CTRL + ALT + Right/left arrow?

    I take time to scroll down and find the names.

    Ctrl+F?

    Otherwise maybe (this may not be suitable), use your monitor in portrait mode?

    • I think we know that option. Obviously if its possibe to to it without using portrait feature would be nice.

      • Best bet is some kind of widescreen software like Ultraview Desktop Manager, or Display Fusion, but I'm not sure either will have the specific functionality you need, which seems to be to be "emulating two monitors in portrait config across one widescreen monitor". Basically:

        Set up windows multi-monitor think it's like this:

        [ 1 ]
        [ 2 ]

        And emulate it across one monitor in software so it's:

        [ 1 | 2 ]

        It'd be possible but I feel incredibly over-complicated for your use-case.

        *Edit: On second thoughts, Austria has a far simpler solution below.

    You could open the same page twice in two different browser windows, put one window to the left and one to the right.

    • I think OP would like both screens to scroll simultaneously? Otherwise this seems like an obvious solution

      • A recent Windows update lets you scroll a browser window without it being in focus, so he could just hover the mouse over either one and scroll, without needing to click on each window first. Mac has had this feature since the 90s I think.

  • + one on rotating the screen.

    Maybe some HTML to take people directly to the start letter?

    PgeDwn/PgDn/Page Down Button?

    • rotating screen
    • CTRL F
    • Redesign webpage
    • Have instant search including family name. i.e. if you type "Sm" - John Smith would highlight
  • What do you mean by a long website? Are people registering on site?

    Maybe you can split it into 2 or 3 pages with a next button?

  • Just make a small html file with a frame/frameset.

    From w3schools:

    <frameset cols="25%,*,25%">
    <frame src="frame_a.htm">
    <frame src="frame_b.htm">
    <frame src="frame_c.htm">
    </frameset>
