I've just tried "overflow-y:auto;" but it didn't work. It was worth a try
though - thanks.

I guess the "overflow-y" and "overflow-x" properties are inherited from
"overflow" and then you just overwrite them by assigning specific values so
"overflow-y" would have been set to "auto" anyway.

You could try adding "overflow-y: auto" to your style? It's just a
hunch.
