CSS overflow:scroll

Is there a way to get the overflow:scroll to have only a vertical scroll bar instead of both vertical and horizontal scroll?

Quite easy actually. Just use "overflow:auto" and if your text extends the div, a vertical scroll will appear.

Good luck!

You can also use:
overflow-x: auto; <- for horizontal scrolling
overflow-y: auto; <- for vertical scrolling

cheers
