Adding a scrollbar to a Module

[NBSFlak]

For our recent Posts module, I'd like to have it scrolling so it takes up less room. I can't for the life of me figure out how to do it. I know for an iframe its:

style="overflow:auto;height:250px;width:100%

but I don't know where to do it if there isn't an iframe. Can anyone help? I did search the forums and didn't find a lot about scrollbars.

the above code is not for an iframe. There is a specific html tag that defines an iframe, that displays another page within the frame.
But the code u posted is exactly what u looking for, and shows the same as an iframe.

You simply need to add it to an block level element for the scrolling to work.
EG:

<div style="overflow:auto;height:250px;width:100%">
<!-- The content you want to scroll goes within this division layer -->
</div>

scrollbar will only appear once content is larger than specified height.
Hope this helps

I'm confused with this...If your adding a scroll bar to a module, where exactly in the module do you add this code in?

In the Module Content box.

Exactly where though?

This is my guess because I haven't done it, but....

Put this code as the first line...

<div style="overflow:auto;height:250px;width:100%">

Then put your in your module content.

Then end the code with this...

</div>

Now your module will have a scroll bar if it exceeds 250 px high.
