What attribute of <body/> would it make scrollable in JavaScript?

Question

I have a page (Html) full of stuff. I want to make it scrollable to see all the content, SLOWLY. I can't use Scroll Viewer in JavaScript(I assume). What attributes can I use to make it happen?

If my reply answers your question, please mark this post as answered.

NOTE: If I ask for code, please provide something that I can drop directly into a project and run (including XAML), or an actual application project. I'm trying to help a lot of people, so I don't have time to figure out weird snippets with undefined objects and unknown namespaces.

Answer 2

I see this has been escalated. However in keeping up with the spirit that apps can be developed using any of HTML, C#, C++, and VB.NET, a comparable element to 'Scroll Viewer' should have been developed. May be it is there, but I am not aware. If any one comes across I would like to know.

Hi Jayaram,

Did you look at the available controls list? Check out the Layout controls for more advanced scrolling scenarios (including scroll view).

Thanks.

<divstyle="overflow:scroll;"></div> seems to do it. Is there a way to keep the scroll bars invisible but effective?
