how do i add a scroll bar in my text box?

[silvers]

Hi,

i think this is an embarassinly simple thing do to but i don’t know how to do it.

what i am looking for is to have some text in a box, and have a scroll bar so you can slide down and read the text.

= the reason i need this is because on the site i am making, it needs to have a function to change the language, so when you change the language, the text spills out of the box. so i need to have a scroll bar so that it doesn’t do this…

here is my site… http://www.silvermanwebdesign.co.uk/star – if you click the flags to change the language, you will see the problem.

thanks loads for any help on this one! ;)

You can add overflow-y: scroll; to .header_main in your css
