Hi, A Scroll area is an area within a web-page or other screen that is scrollable. Sort of like a smaller window within another that you are able to manipulate or ignore as you wish. A Table is just that, like a spreadsheet of rows and columns within a larger element. A Group is a collection of related elements. A Grid is similar to a Table but I don't know the specific explanation of the difference.
HTH. Later...
