scrolling column in a table

M

Mel

I have a table with 2 columns (the left hand column is 80% width and
the other at 20% width) in a content section. I want the column on
the right hand side to scroll; it contains a bulleted list. When I
add a bunch of bulleted items to the column it just makes my web page
taller. How can I get the column to scroll?

use a div

<div style="overflow:auto;height:400px;">
some content
</div>


note: you must specify an absolute height. if you want it to resize to
page size use javascript and the resize event.

Thanks! I didn't set the <div> height so that was the problem. Thank
you, thank you! I think I love you; I'm totally serious!
