I have only one list div and I want to make it scrollable. I have seen scrollpane examples, it's great but I am looking for an smaller simpler alternative.

I appreciate any help.

Thanks.

• javascript
• jquery
• jquery-plugins
• jquery-scrollable

• have you already written some code to see? Are you trying to scroll an <ul> inside a shorter <div>? – fcalderan Commented Nov 19, 2010 at 15:24
• Maybe try the smallest and simplest solution: css overflow: auto; bined with fixed height or width. – pawel Commented Nov 19, 2010 at 15:27
• @fcalderan Yeah <ul> inside a <div> – Josh R Commented Nov 19, 2010 at 15:33
• @pawel I also get a greyed out horizontal scroll which messes other elements on the page. – Josh R Commented Nov 19, 2010 at 15:44

Don't think you need jquery, just add style="overflow:auto;" to the div.

For Future readers ...

If jQuery is must then you can do this by :

// Any one accordingly ...

$('#yourIdForDiv').attr('overflow','auto');
$('#yourIdForDiv').attr('overflowy','scroll');
$('#yourIdForDiv').attr('overflowx','auto');
