Some Primefaces containers appear to support scrolling, but this is not universally supported. Layout panels support it, but ordinary panels appear not to.<\/p>\n
Fortunately, with IE7 and above, scrolling on a <div> (JSF panelGroup<\/em> with layout=\u201dblock\u201d<\/em>) works reliably and consistently across modern browsers, so scrolling can just be added within e.g. within a CSS class rule as follows:-<\/p>\n .ss-scroll { or:-<\/p>\n .ss-scroll { Using overflow:auto<\/em> will only add the scrollbars if they are needed, i.e. if content is clipped. Using overflow: scroll<\/em> will add them all the time so you will get redundant scrollbars when the content does not clip.<\/p>\n Note that for Primefaces, to make a scrolling panel for example, the attribute needs to be added to a containing div inside the panel, and not the panel itself, otherwise the panel header will scroll out of view when the contents scroll which is undesirable.<\/p>\n
