Scrollable html JLabel

Question

I have a Jlabel packed with html. I would like to scroll this content as you would with overflow : auto; in css. I can't seem to get this to work. Has anyone come across this? I'd like to keep the content in HTML - for mark up - and use something light to scroll though it.

BTW: The Jlabel is in a popup - I can use something else other than a JLabel if needs be but would like to keep the html.

Cheers,

Put that JLabel in a JScrollPane instanciated that way :

JScrollPane scroller = new JScrollPane(myJLabel, JScrollPane.VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR_AS_NEEDED, JScrollPane.HORIZONTAL_SCROLLBAR_AS_NEEDED);

Notice that, as this constructor states, those parameters can be changed afterwards.
