There are those time when you would like to place web content is a scroll box to better utilize available page space and improve overall esthetics of the web page.
While there are several approaches available I recommend using cascading style sheets over other available options. Cascading style sheets work across most browsers and are centrally located for making wholesale changes to the web site.
Below is a CSS footprint that is used to coral content via a scroll box.
[codesyntax lang=”css”]
.sbx { width: 70%; height: 500px; overflow: scroll; }
[/codesyntax]
Of course you modify these paramters to better fit the usage you desire.
