This is kind of a really nooby question, and I think I already know the answer, but:

Can you add Scrollbars to the side of a <div>?

div {

   height: 100px;

   overflow: auto;

}

You give an explicit height so the div doesn't expand to fit its content.

If you only want horizontal or vertical scrolling, use overflow-x and overflow-y respectively.

If down the track you want the extra content to be hidden, use overflow: hidden.

The default for overflow property is visible.
