How do I get scroll bars without using frames?

[jammer20002]

I am designing a website that has to be of a constant height for all of the pages.

For one of the pages, the data is too long and makes the page too long.

Can someone tell me how I can have scroll bars for my data?
(Without using frames.)
I've seen it on other websites... but am not sure how its done.

Thanks.

<style type="text/css">
.wow{
overflow:auto;
height:125px;
width:150px;
}
</style>

<div class="wow">

This is the same thing but inline:

<div style="height:500px; width:500px; overflow:auto;">
This block will have a scroll bar when the contents are too big
<div>

Basically we did the same way but I wanted to clarify how it scrolls.

You could also set the overflow property to 'scroll' which would cause browsers to pop a scroll bar in there regardless of wether the content overflows.

<div style="height:500px; width:500px; overflow:scroll;">
This block will scroll, regardless of wether the content is too big.
<div>

Yeah... but that is kind of annoying when it pops in horizontal ones too.
