css scroll with overflow property does not work

Question

I am trying to have a vertical scrollbar in the body of page. which should be implemented by css.

I don't want to use fixed height.

I used following code in my css:

.summary-scroll {
   overflow-y: scroll;
   overflow-x:hidden;
   height: 100%;
}

but it does not work. But when I add just an attribute named: layout="column" (without any need to have class attribute) the body has scrollbar.

I don't know what is the relation between layout and scrolling? Also I have to implement it in my css , what is the solution for handling in css file?

you can do like this

.body-scroll{ max-height:600px; 
             height: 100% !important; 
             overflow-y: scroll; 
              overflow-x: hidden;
}
