Adding a scroll bar to a div

To add a scroll bar to a fixed height and/or width div use overflow: auto like this:

<div style="margin-left: 45px; width: 230px; height: 220px; overflow: auto; background-color: yellow;">

The scroll bar will appear automatically when there is more text or content than can fit in the box.

So, lets say I have this text:

I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text

and I want to put it in a box that is 230px wide by 220 px tall (like above), well then if I wrote:

<div style="margin-left: 45px; width: 230px; height: 220px; overflow: auto; background-color: yellow;">I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text
</div>

in the source code I would end up with:

I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text I am text
