Use 'overflow' property of CSS2.

Not many browsers support that property yet, but it works with
Gecko-based browsers such as Mozilla and Netscape 6/7, for example.

The HTML Working Group is working on XFrames, an XML application to
replace (X)HTML Frames.  The first public Working Draft is expected
soon.
