Overflow x and y properties

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jan 10.2007

I have a roll over dropdown with one of the links extending beyond the bottom of the page and I want a scroll bar to help compensate. I have tried the overflow properties but there are multiple problems. First, it inherits every list when I only need it for the long one. Also, it seems to be inheriting each link and not scrolling through my entire sub-list as a group. Any ideas on how to fix this. Here is the code I am using:

li a {
overflow-y: scroll;
height: 182px;
}

Thanks for any help.

@WebJoelJan 10.2007 — We'd have to see more of your code to understand this, -but I am thinking that having a scrollbar on a drop-down is maybe confusing... because if you move the pointer-tool off of the drop-down, you've changed the focus/hover state and doesn't the drop-down then retract itself? I would personally find it ...confusing to use. ?

Success!
