html - Is there a way to set vertical scrollbar for a div?

Question

I put a empty content div into a td tag in a table. It shows as there is only one line in div. If I set the height of the div, when I input more content than it's height, it still keep the same size as it was. How to add a vertical scrollbar when content need to consume more space in the div? Thanks.

Answer 1

Automatically show scroll bars when content is greater than height and width like this:

<div style="overflow:auto;"></div>

OR

Show scroll bars at all times like this:

<div style="overflow:scroll;"></div>

Below is some reference for CSS overflow properties:

overflow

overflow-x

overflow-y
