Use CSS overflow for search results category list

   I'm open to debate on this, but it seems to me that it would be far simpler to manage design issues and provide a more intuitive user interface to use CSS overflow on the list of categories at the top of a search results page (Search results by category:) rather than the iFrame.

For one, I've had a couple of clients that are complaining that customers don't recognized the scrolling option. Greg helped with this by moving the up/down buttons to the left on this site: http://www.colormall.com/store/pc/showsearchresults.asp?pageStyle=H&resultCnt=10&keyword=monitor

However, there is still the issue of dealing with z-indexing with other design issues such as drop down/fly-out navigation. 

Just seems to me that it would be easier for folks if this content were held in a div with CSS overflow applied.

	Hi Sean, I don't believe the code uses an iframe. The code we're using is a modified version of “//Manual Scroller- © Dynamic Drive 2001 //For full source code, visit http://www.dynamicdrive.com”. We haven't changed it in a long time and it could certainly be reviewed and improved in a future release.
