[Seaside] CSS Overflow property, scrolling in Scriptaculous Autocompleter

[Sigrid E. Mortensen]

Hi again,

There have definitely been others with this problem.  A search of  
"overflow autocompleter" on this link reveals several posts  
discussing the issue.  Unfortunately, I am a seasoned Smalltalker who  
does not speak Prototype or Javascript, and I haven't the foggiest  
idea what they're talking about in their proposed solutions.

How do I incorporate suggestions like this (from the web site http:// 
elia.wordpress.com/2007/01/18/overflow-smooth-scroll-with- 
scriptaculous/):

into Smalltalk/Seaside?
