Nice answer Daniel... loser.

CSS will permit you to force a div to be scrollable instead of sizing to it's content.

No, you can not "force" *anything* on the web. CSS only allows you to suggest.


Use the style attribute "overflow" and set it to scroll or auto.


And hope the browser honors it. The user could have a user defined stylesheet or simply have IE set to ignore all styles in a page.

If the quality of the CSS section matches that of the Javascript section then that site is completely better off being left alone.
