That will get you the basics. The overflow: auto, will make the div scroll
if there is more text than the height will allow. If the height of the items
inside that container does not reach the specified height, it will not show
scroll bars. 

Hope this helps.

Subject: [css-d] Allow overflow for height only

I want overflow to allow scroll bar to appear if content is longer but I
want content to be clipped and no scroll bar if screen is made narrower. 
Can someone advise on how to accomplish this. Many thanks.

David
