Scrolling boxes are usually made by setting a height on a <div>, then setting the overflow to auto in the CSS like this:
HTML Code:
<head>
<style type="text/css">
#box {
height: 200px;
overflow: auto;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="box">
<p>Some nonsense you want to talk about</p>
</div>
Now, with a height of 200px, there will be no scrollbars, but if you add more text, once it "overflows", scroll bars will be added to allow for it. This is usually preferable to overflow:scroll;
