Sidebar within web page?

Hi everybody!

Does anyone know how to create a sidebar within a webpage to stop my page been really deep?

Examples (look in the news area):

use a layer (div) and set overflow to scroll.

Do you know how to make it so that it only scrolls vertically?

Thanks for the info! I always thought those were just done with iframes and I want to stay away from iframes.

Yep, but don't forget to assign a height and width for that div, or you're not going to have any defined area to overflow.

I realized that question sounds moronic, so let me rephrase.

I know it will scroll only when it has to, but how do you get the horizontal scroll bar to completely disappear when it isn't needed? (when I view it I see a greyed out horiz. bar)

sorry about that, overflow should be "auto"
