You need to define height of ul or your div and set overflow equals to auto as below    lt ul style  width  300px  height  200px  overflow  auto  gt     lt li gt text lt  li gt     lt li gt text lt  li gt

Sometimes it is not eligible to set height to pixel values  However  it is possible to show vertical scrollbar through setting height of div to 100  and overflow to auto   Let me show an example    lt div id  content  style  height  100   overflow  auto  gt     lt p gt some text lt  p gt     lt ul gt       lt li gt text lt  li gt                 lt li gt text lt  li gt   lt  div gt

You need to set a height on the DIV  Otherwise it will keep expanding indefinitely
