Thanks Julian<br />
<br />
I think I've probably over complicated my real initial requirement which is to simply have the right hand &quot;conversation&quot; box scrollable with the &quot;excess&quot; conversation hidden outside of the container. I'll amend as that should be a simple bit of CSS<br />

I also used this code to figure out my other question of how to drop the scrolled content to the bottom<br />
<br />
I added this in the script of the page<br />
<br />
$('.right').scrollTop(4000<wbr />00);
</div>

Hi all<br />
<br />
I've found this great chat layout script that is just what I'm looking for except for a small bit of CSS styling of it.<br />
<br />
I need the right box to have a vertical right scroll bar (I've added it but the content doesn't actually seem to scroll) so not sure what I'm doing wrong.<br />
<br />

Need help styling a chat script effectively please

Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a language used for describing the look and formatting of a document written in a markup language. Usually used to change web pages and user interfaces written in HTML, it can also be applied to any kind of XML document. CSS is designed primarily to distinguish the content of a document from its presentation.
