I have a sidebar that is fixed along the side of a text document. The contents of the sidebar are a fixed size content submission form and below that is a list of submitted content. Naturally, I would like the submitted content to be scrollable, so I have overflow set to auto; however, when I resize the screen to a lower size, the div that the content is contained in is cut off and the last few objects are lost.

Currently the sidebar is fixed and height is 100%, the submission form height is 300 px and the content list height is 70%

#sidebar{
  position:fixed;
  height:100%;
}

#sidebarUL{ /*this is the submission list*/
  height:70%;
  overflow: auto;
}
#draggable{
  /*height here depends on content ready for submission, though it is absolute; 400px etc*/
}

    Use overflow:scroll; to get the scrollbar in your div
