    Hi All,

    I have been searching high and low for a way to make a

      widget with a scrollbar?

    Given the fact googling has just resulted in finding other people asking for it. I hope here someone might point me to either another plug in that simply allows the user to put text in and have a sliding scroll bar?

    It would be great to tick some box on the text widget in the future to have a scrolling option… Anyhow, help would be very much appreciated! I have automatic scrollers that are animated, but thats not what I am looking for.

    Greetings, A

    Hi,

    Yes, it’s possible !
    Here is the code to use in a text/html widget :
    The overflow attribute is here to say ‘allow a scrollbar to see more content‘ in the 150 pixels of Height.

    <div style="overflow:auto;height:150px;">

    Is it possible to add this scroll code to the “Recent Posts” widget? We want to have all posts viewable, but obviously, this will eventually become long and cumbersome. A long list with a scroll bar would be the perfect solution. I’ve seen it done on other blogs (but they were not WordPress, don’t know if that makes any diff).

    Thank you!
