Making a div vertically scrollable is easy by using CSS overflow property. There are different values in
overflow property. For example: overflow:auto; and the axis hiding procedure like overflow-x:hidden;
and overflow-y:auto;. It will make vertical and horizontal scrollable bar and the auto will make only
vertically scrollable bar.
For vertical scrollable bar use the x and y axis. Set the overflow-x:hidden; and overflow-y:auto; that
will automatically hide the horizontal scroll bar and present only vertical scrollbar. Here the scroll div
will be vertically scrollable.
