How to make a div vertically scrollable

Question

I made a horizontal scroll with a list of picture elements.. But when I made to scroll it vertically I failed to do it.

my code for the horizontal scroller is

<div class="pic-container" style="position:absolute; left: 3px; top: 102px;">
    <div class="pic-row">
        <div id="divd" style="width: 1680px;">
            <a href="writeA.html"><img src="images/A.Png" /></a>
            <a href="writeB.html"><img src="images/B.Png" /></a>
            <a href="writeC.html"><img src="images/C.Png" /></a>
            <a href="writeD.html"><img src="images/D.Png" /></a>
            <a href="writeE.html"><img src="images/E.Png" /></a>
            <a href="writeF.html"><img src="images/F.Png" /></a>
            <a href="writeG.html"><img src="images/G.Png" /></a>
            <a href="writeH.html"><img src="images/H.Png" /></a>
            <a href="writeI.html"><img src="images/I.Png" /></a>
            <a href="writeJ.html"><img src="images/J.Png" /></a>
            <a href="writeK.html"><img src="images/K.Png" /></a>
            <a href="writeL.html"><img src="images/L.Png" /></a>
            <a href="writeM.html"><img src="images/M.Png" /></a>
            <a href="writeN.html"><img src="images/N.Png" /></a>
            <a href="writeO.html"><img src="images/O.Png" /></a>
            <a href="writeP.html"><img src="images/P.Png" /></a>
            <a href="writeQ.html"><img src="images/Q.Png" /></a>
            <a href="writeR.html"><img src="images/R.Png" /></a>
            <a href="writeS.html"><img src="images/S.Png" /></a>
            <a href="writeT.html"><img src="images/T.Png" /></a>
            <a href="writeU.html"><img src="images/U.Png" /></a>
            <a href="writeV.html"><img src="images/V.Png" /></a>
            <a href="writeW.html"><img src="images/W.Png" /></a>
            <a href="writeX.html"><img src="images/X.Png" /></a>
            <a href="writeY.html"><img src="images/Y.Png" /></a>
            <a href="writeZ.html"><img src="images/Z.Png" /></a>
        </div>

The css I used is as follows

.pic - container {
  /* The width of mydocument */
  width: 1350 px;
  margin: 0 auto;
  white - space: nowrap;
  overflow - x: inherit;
  overflow - y: hidden; -
  ms - overflow - style: -ms - autohiding - scrollbar;

}
.pic - row {
  /* As wide as it needs to be */
  width: 1527 px;
}

Please Guide me to found a solution to make that horizontal scrolling div into vertical scrolling

Use the css below

.pic-container {
    width: 50px;
    height: 200px;
    overflow-y: scroll;
    overflow-x:hidden;
}

EDIT :- Added a '.' before the class name see the fiddle link HERE

you have to set fix height of your main div for horizontal scroll and if your inside content height exceed height of main div then horizontal scroll will come.

.pic-container {
  width: 1350px;
  margin: 0 auto;
  white-space: nowrap;
}

.pic-row {
  /* As wide as it needs to be */
  width: 1350px;
  height: 400px;
  overflow: auto;
}

.pic-row a {
  clear: left;
  display: block;
}

<div class="pic-container">
  <div class="pic-row">
    <a href="writeA.html"><img src="images/A.Png" /></a>
    <a href="writeB.html"><img src="images/B.Png" /></a>
    <a href="writeC.html"><img src="images/C.Png" /></a>
    <a href="writeD.html"><img src="images/D.Png" /></a>
    <a href="writeE.html"><img src="images/E.Png" /></a>
    <a href="writeF.html"><img src="images/F.Png" /></a>
    <a href="writeG.html"><img src="images/G.Png" /></a>
    <a href="writeH.html"><img src="images/H.Png" /></a>
    <a href="writeI.html"><img src="images/I.Png" /></a>
    <a href="writeJ.html"><img src="images/J.Png" /></a>
    <a href="writeK.html"><img src="images/K.Png" /></a>
    <a href="writeL.html"><img src="images/L.Png" /></a>
    <a href="writeM.html"><img src="images/M.Png" /></a>
    <a href="writeN.html"><img src="images/N.Png" /></a>
    <a href="writeO.html"><img src="images/O.Png" /></a>
    <a href="writeP.html"><img src="images/P.Png" /></a>
    <a href="writeQ.html"><img src="images/Q.Png" /></a>
    <a href="writeR.html"><img src="images/R.Png" /></a>
    <a href="writeS.html"><img src="images/S.Png" /></a>
    <a href="writeT.html"><img src="images/T.Png" /></a>
    <a href="writeU.html"><img src="images/U.Png" /></a>
    <a href="writeV.html"><img src="images/V.Png" /></a>
    <a href="writeW.html"><img src="images/W.Png" /></a>
    <a href="writeX.html"><img src="images/X.Png" /></a>
    <a href="writeY.html"><img src="images/Y.Png" /></a>
    <a href="writeZ.html"><img src="images/Z.Png" /></a>
  </div>
</div>

Try this:

index.html:

.pic-container {
  width: 600px;
  height: 600px;
  overflow-y: scroll;
}

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

<head>
  <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles.css">
</head>

<body>
  <div class="pic-container">
    <a href="writeA.html"><img src="images/A.png" /></a>
    <a href="writeB.html"><img src="images/B.png" /></a>
    <a href="writeC.html"><img src="images/C.png" /></a>
    <a href="writeD.html"><img src="images/D.png" /></a>
    <a href="writeE.html"><img src="images/E.png" /></a>
  </div>
</body>

</html>

I want vertical scrolling but you told for horizontal scrolling – Sep 23 '13 at 06:56
To get something working with the markup you provided, just set "height: 700px;", "overflow-y: scroll;", and remove "white-space: nowrap;". – Adelmar Sep 23 '13 at 06:58
