[IPython-dev] output cell in html notebook with limited height and width with scroll bar

[Massimo Di Stefano]

I don't know if on topic,  but the pandas feature to print out the 'dataframe' in a html table
has already this capabilities, e.g.. if the output is long it add a scrollbar in the cell where the output is printed out.

If the output is bigger than the size specified, using the scroll bar so a user can see the full results using finite space of the screen real estate.  This will make navigation of the code easier if the output is long.  Any thought about this?
