Menu
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.
To get the height of the scroll bar the offsetHeight of div is subtracted from the clientHeight of div. OffsetHeight = Height of an element + Scrollbar Height. ClientHeight = Height of an element. Height of scrollbar = offsetHeight – clientHeight.
The secret there is to use box-sizing: border-box , and some padding to make the second div height 100%, but move it's content down 50px. Then wrap the content in a div with overflow: auto to contain the scrollbar. Pay attention to z-indexes to keep all the text selectable - hope this helps, several years later.
The scrollbar can be triggered with any property overflow , overflow-x , or overflow-y and each can be set to any of visible , hidden , scroll , auto , or inherit .
setting the overflow should take care of it, but you need to set the height of Content also. If the height attribute is not set, the div will grow vertically as tall as it needs to, and scrollbars wont be needed.

FWIW, here is my approach = a simple one that works for me:
<div id="outerDivWrapper">
<div id="outerDiv">
<div id="scrollableContent">
blah blah blah
</div>
</div>
</div>
html, body {
height: 100%;
margin: 0em;
}
#outerDivWrapper, #outerDiv {
height: 100%;
margin: 0em;
}
#scrollableContent {
height: 100%;
margin: 0em;
overflow-y: auto;
}
Code from the above answer by Dutchie432
.FixedHeightContainer {
float:right;
height: 250px;
width:250px;
padding:3px;
background:#f00;
}
.Content {
height:224px;
overflow:auto;
background:#fff;
}
