Anybody know how to add a scroll pane within a page

You can force a scroll bar onto a div or other element with the CSS overflow property set to "scroll".

If you set the overflow property to "auto" it should scroll only if the layout of your page forces it to.

You can also achieve the same effect using frames or i-frames if you want.

I don't recommend frames or iframes, they are highly unprofessional.
Here's how you do it with div tags.

<div style="width:50px;height:50px;overflow:scroll;">
Some content, will always have a scrollbar even if it isn't overflowing.
</div>
