How can you add a vertical scroll bar inside a paragraph element?
thanks

Overflow: scroll;

I know this will be a dumb question. How do I make the paragraph element short in length so there is something to scroll.

Actually, you can use overflow: scroll; or overflow: auto;

The difference is, that by 'scroll' you may also get a horizontal scroll bar. Using 'auto' will only produce a horizontal scrollbar if you have words that are too long (wide) for the space allocated.

You need to set max height/width to get some overflow. See example.

Inger,
Thank you for your time. In rsd 2.5 under dimensions in paragraph element it does not have set max height
I have just got used to the columns and rows of 2.5

Ok, I took the leap and opened my site in 3.and I was able to adjust the height as per your instruction.
thank you again for your help

In RSD2.5 you could try just giving the paragraph a fixed height. I think that will work.
