I would like to know if for the demo index page of this site url, I can prevent the text from overflowing or let say use optional scrolling bar when the text goes over the bottom of the blue box? I would like the layout to be similar to this 'production' site (with server stats visits).
Can I do this using html 5? Should I include div so to limit text overflow under a certain screen resolution. Please find the html and style sheet code used (thanks for the author of this design and also Aayushi Jain who has help me with a few style sheet adjustments from another question here on this site).
