Get rid of it, "scrolling divs" are a usability nightmare. Scrolling
with the wheel of a mouse is poorly supported, keyboard users cannot
scroll it at all.

Place a small bit of the content on the page followed by a "... More"
link that links to the full text.

Replicating a function found on all browsers serves no purpose, using
javascript is even more silly since a significant number of clients will
have javascript disabled.
