[thelist] scrolling part of a page

Basic question here, from a recovering IE addict (several years spent on a
latest-IE-only intranet)...

Is there any cross-browser way, other than frames or iframes, to make part
of the page scroll vertically only, with no horizontal scrollbar?

For IE only, you can use a fixed width and height div with styling like
this:
  overflow-x: hidden;
  overflow-y: scroll;
But overflow-x and -y are IE-specific; only the overall overflow attribute
is standards compliant and supported by Firefox/Opera/Moz/etc.

Any other way to do this without frames or iframes?

Thanks,

Dave Merrill
