DETAILS

Currently, Wix does not support adding a scroll bar to text boxes due to the
following reasons:

* It isn't advised in modern web design.
* It will not work well on touch devices such as iPads and iPhones.
* It is advisable to have only one scroll bar on your site, and it should be the site scroll-bar.

If your site content is longer than your site visitor's viewport height, the
browser automatically adds vertical scrollbars.

As an alternative, you can try adding CSS to the HTML element. A tutorial is
available at w3schools here.

Important:

We are unable to provide support for external HTML codes that are added to Wix
sites as the codes have not been tested by Wix. Learn More
