I’m referring to the contacts list that appears when you write a message in Hotmail. I’ve looked at the source and it is a table inside a div, but it lets you scroll down. I’m assuming that my answer is in the css stylesheet, which I can’t see.

Does anyone have any idea how you would script this?

Thanks

On the table turn the overflow to auto.
