What I wrote didn't relate to "only have vertical scrollbar", it related
to a fundamental usability problem of scroll bars on a div element.

Opening a new viewport within the principle viewport causes usability
problems whatever method you choose. If you have an amount of content
that you deem to be to large to show in it's entirety on a given page,
don't create a new viewport, place a teaser with a "... More" link after
it that links to another page with the full content on it.
