Re: Scrolling area in the middle of a page ?

I am sure most of you are aware of this, but I just have to share my pain

There is a beautifully simple and elegant way to do this.
It takes one simple attribute. 
However, it only works in IE (go figure)
<span style="height:10%; overflow: auto;">
</span>
