Bottom half of page scrollable

How can I keep an image at the top of a page seen, while allowing the
user to read the rest of the page which may contain more content than
can be displayed in the window at the one time? - Such as some kind of
scrolling area.

Here is made up example page for testing (without the feature I am
looking for):

http://emle.sourceforge.net/emle020...le_lab_001.html

The sample file works on IE7 and Firefox. A more complete example is
located here:

http://emle.sourceforge.net/emle020...mle_lab_001.xml

but it is limited on which browsers it can be viewed. For details on
this limitation see:

http://emle.sourceforge.net/emle020...20_context.html

Add overflow:scroll.

[class="emleInstructions"]{
clear:both;
height:300px;
overflow:scroll;
}

What on earth?

Surely .emleInstructions {
would be a more correct way of doing the same job, aswell as being
readable to older browsers.

Also, overflow: scroll will produce the scrollbars wether or not the
content overflows the element's size - I suggest using overflow: auto
- you'll get a nicer look.
