how to get a scrollbar on a div-section in an html-page?

I want to display a long list of information, but I want it restricted to a predefined rectangular area, so that if the information is longer than that area, a scrollbar will be shown automatically. Can I achieve that with a DIV-element? Or do I need to use an IFRAME?

I believe any block element can a do that if you give it fixed proportions and set css property overflow to auto.
Example:

<div style="width: 200px; height: 50px; overflow: auto">
