CSS how to make scrollable list
HtmlCssPugHtml Problem Overview
I am trying to create a webpage which is made up of a header and bellow the header a list of items. I want the list of items to be vertically scrollable. I also would like the webpage to take up the entire window but not be bigger. Currently my problem is the list of items is not scrollable and instead extends far below the bottom of the window and this is causing the window to be scrollable. What should the CSS properties be on the html, body, header and list items?
doctype html
html
head
link(href="css/style.css" rel="stylesheet")
body
div#wrapper
h1 Interactive Contact Directory
div(class="tools")
|Search:
br
input(type="text" id="searchBox")
select(name="searchBy" id="searchBy")
option(value='firstname') First Name
option(value='lastname') Last Name
option(value='email') Email
br
br
div(id="listingHolder")
ul(id="listing")
div(id="listingView")
Bellow is the current style sheet I have
html{
height: 100%;

Another solution would be as below where the list is placed under a drop-down button.
<button class="btn dropdown-toggle btn-primary btn-sm" data-toggle="dropdown"
>Markets<span class="caret"></span></button>
<ul class="dropdown-menu", style="height:40%; overflow:hidden; overflow-y:scroll;">
{{ form.markets }}
</ul>
