Force vertical scrollbar to display in IE8

Question

The vertical bar does not appear in IE8 if the page is not long enough. In FF, there is a workaround for this

html {
    overflow: -moz-scrollbars-vertical;

Another solution is to set the body height to 100% - see a before/after example at http://www.iecustomizer.com/msmvp/HTMLHeightTest.htm

Answer 6

put it in your div i.e.

style="overflow: -moz-scrollbars-vertical; overflow-y: scroll;

for example :

<div class="left" style="overflow: -moz-scrollbars-vertical; overflow-y: scroll;
 width: 230px; height: 500px;" >
