scrollable text box?

[Jamie Kass]

I would like to add a status window on my shiny app that prints text but does not increase in height. The user should be able to scroll through the text. I know this is possible in HTML with something like <div style="overflow: auto ...">, but I can't figure out how to implement it in shiny. Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks.

You can do the same thing by addind the `overflow: auto` to your app's CSS.

runApp(shinyApp(

  ui = fluidPage(

    shiny::tags$head(shiny::tags$style(shiny::HTML(

      "#text { font-size: 50px; height: 200px; overflow: auto; }"

    ))),

    div(id = "text", paste(names(tags), collapse = ", "))

  ),

  server = function(input, output, session) {

  }

))

Thank you! That works great.
