<li>I want the user to know that an area is scrollable</li>
<li>But in Lion the bar disappears</li>
<li>The only way the user would know that</li>
<li>they can scroll is if they make the scroll gesture</li>
<li>Is there a way to keep the scrollbar present all the time?</li>

// "Anyone figured how to force the scrollbar in Lion with css/html/javascript? i.e. without sys prefs" @andyshaw85
// "As soon as we thought we settled the "above the fold" discussions, with Lion it's back, more than ever..!!! ;-( But luckily we can just overwrite the default and force the srollbar back!" @simurai
