Basically I need a box with a vertical scrollbar and I need all the
text within that box to be positioned to bottom left (instead of the
top left like every other webpage). If the text gets too long for the
box, the box needs to have scrollbars and allow you to scroll up to the
top. Items will be getting fed to this box via AJAX, so sometimes the
box might have a couple things in it and sometimes it might have 100
items in it (in which case the end-user needs to be able to scroll up
to the top). Newest items get added to the bottom, oldest items at the
top.

Right now I can get the items to stick to the bottom left just fine,
but the scrollbars don't work. Even when there's more content than can
fit in the box, the scrollbars are grayed out.
