I am appending content to a cell in a table with jQuery.

I tried to add: &quot;overflow:auto;&quot; to the style attribute of the table cell, but that didn't help. Is there a way to add to the cell and make the content of it scrollable if the content would otherwise overflow? Or will I have to calculate how many lines go in there and append only that?<br />

jQuery (Core) is a cross-browser JavaScript library that provides abstractions for common client-side tasks such as Document Object Model (DOM) traversal, DOM manipulation, event handling, animation and Ajax. jQuery also provides a platform to create plugins that extend jQuery's capabilities beyond those already provided by the library.

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the main markup language for creating web pages and other information to be displayed in a web browser, providing both the structure and content for what is sent from a web server through the use of tags. The current implementation of the HTML specification is HTML5.
