What I want:

   <div style="overflow:scroll;width:100%;height:50%;"> &nbsp;
    <div style="height:500px;width:400px;border:solid 3px red;">
        </div>
        </div>

<div style="overflow:scroll;width:100%;HEIGHT:50%;"> &nbsp;
    <div style="height:500px;width:400px;border:solid 3px red;">
        </div>
        </div>

Notice how if I shrink the height of the window the scrollbars shrink. This is the functionality I want.

The issue:
I want to make something similar to the above, only with a fixed height of 100 pixels for the top div.

If I do this in practice the bottom scrollbar no longer shrinks as I shrink the page - the system adds an outer scrollbar to manage both sections. I don't want this, I want to retain the behavior seen above.

How do I do this?
