It's not the table that scrolls, it is the div behind it.

use overflow-y if you only want a vertical scroll bar and overflow if you want both a vertical and horizontal.

Note: setting an overflow attribute to scroll will always display the scrollbars. If you want the horizontal/vertical scrollbars to only show up when needed, use auto.
