Scott C. said: You need to set a maximum height on the container that you want to get the scroll bar. So, your rdesc css declaration should be this: .sheet-rolltemplate-wodritual .sheet-rdesc { font-size: 1.0em; text-align: left; position: relative; /* may be needed for this scroll bar? */ overflow-x: auto; /* This should add a scroll bar to the roll template pt 3*/ overflow-y: auto; /* This should add a scroll bar to the roll template pt 3*/ overflow: auto; /* The overflow is clipped, and a scrollbar is added to see the rest of the content*/ max-height:100px; color: rgb(112, 0, 0); /* padding-bottom: 20px; */ } EDIT: I would also recommend making your table declaration not be set to a hardcoded height (or really width) as then it can't scale with input at all and you'll have to change the height any time you want to add additional fields. Really, I'd recommend not using html tables to layout your roll template, but as long as you aren't planning to submit the sheet to the repository it's only advice. I really appreciate the feedback, maybe I'm misunderstanding but I removed the width and height from the table declaration and it caused this issue, I also plugged the css that you posted above at the same time and this is what I'm getting on a post. I tried to use padding on the table declaration for both left and right but its not working. As for submitting the sheet, this is a sheet on the repository that I've taken over the care of which is the Vampire the Masquerade 20th Anniversary sheet, its been left without updates for 5 years so I took over and I've revamped a ton of stuff already but the rolltemplate stuff is where I'm still a scrub and still learning.
