[maplab-users] Solutions for long legends?

[Paul Spencer]

Spencer,

the way I normally deal with this is to put the legend into a <div> 
element that is of a fixed size and has scrollbars:

<div id="legend" 
style="position:relative;width:200px;height:500px;overflow:auto">
<!-- legend here -->
</div>

Cheers,

Paul
