how to enter a scroll bar in the main menu?

How can I get a scroll bar in the menu? Because at some places the restaurant has a lot of text.

I tried the code :

overflow:scroll;
overflow-x: hidden;

This did I put in the layout.css file in the .main_area

But that gives a lot of troubles. The text will be shown below the menu.
And the scroll bar doesn't work.


Some idea's?

thnx

It should be:

height:<exact number>px;
overflow-y:scroll;

but better if you find some 3rd party menu that can do that, and replace our default menu .

Thnx for the reaction!

But still the problem is that the text in the main get below the left (below the menu)

you can take a look if you want ( www.hongkongommen.nl/test )

Do I have to work with the width ?
I changed it from the menu (left)

Instead of doing that to .main_area, do it to .content_wrap so it should be :

.content_wrap
{
height:<exact number>px;
overflow-y:scroll;
}
