How to Add Scroll Bars to Pop-Up Windows
Links coded to open in a pop-up window do not include scroll bars by default. You can alter this behavior with an adjustment to the JavaScript pop-up code that will set the pop-up window to include a scroll bar if the content of the window will take up more space then the set dimensions of the window.
