# Scrollable areas

A scrollable area is a div where contents scroll from the bottom up over time.

You can scroll any HTML content, and anything inside the scroller is operational HTML with functioning links and images.

To make a scrollable areas, wrap the scrolling content inside of a scrollable\_area tag, likely in a UI Page:

```
    <g:scrollable_area height="100px">
        <g2:evaluate var="jvar_temp" expression="var kb = new GlideRecord('kb_knowledge');"/>
        <g:inline template="kb_section.xml"/>
    </g:scrollable_area>
```

The system will then create a 100 pixel high div and the contents will automatically scroll from bottom to top. If you have a 1000 pixel high block of text, for example, you'll see the top 100 pixels and then pixels 2-101, then 3-102, etc. Once it reaches the top it'll wrap back around to the bottom.

This sample code will create a scroller with a list of priority 1 incidents.

```
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<j:jelly trim="false" xmlns:j="jelly:core" xmlns:g="glide" xmlns:j2="null" xmlns:g2="null">
  <g2:evaluate var="jvar_inc">
    var inc = new GlideRecord('incident');
    inc.addActiveQuery();
    inc.addQuery('priority',1);
    inc.query();
  </g2:evaluate>

  <g2:scrollable_area height="100px"> 
    <table border="0" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="0" width="100%">
      <j2:while test="$[inc.next()]">
        <j2:set var="jvar_inc_link" value="incident.do?sys_id=$[inc.sys_id]"/>
        <j2:set var="jvar_inc_list_link" value="incident_list.do?sysparm_query=active=true"/>
	<tr>
	  <td>
            <a href="$[jvar_inc_link]">
              <IMG SRC="images/services.png" style="padding-right:10px"></IMG>
            </a>
            <a href="$[jvar_inc_link]" style="padding-right:10px; color:blue">$[inc.number]</a>
          </td>
          <td>$[inc.short_description]</td>
        </tr>
      </j2:while>
      <tr>
        <td align="center" colspan="2"><a href="$[jvar_inc_list_link]" style="color:blue">View all active incidents</a></td>
      </tr>
    </table>
  </g2:scrollable_area> 
</j:jelly>
```
