How to add auto scroll bar vertically to cssbootst

问题:

I am using css bootstrap affix plugin as a sticky menu on my site.

I have lots of items on the menu which is not an issue on a desktop. However, when I view my site on a small laptop, the bottom half of my menu get cut off.

I need to add an auto scroll bar to the menu when the screen is small.

Here is my html code

<div class="container">
    <div class="row">

        <nav class="col-sm-3 scrollspy hidden-xs hidden-sm" id="docs-menu-column">

            <ul class="nav nav-pills nav-stacked scrollspy affix-menu" id="docs-menu" data-spy="affix">

                  </ul>
                </li>

            </ul>

        </nav>


        <div class="col-md-9 large-padding-sections" id="docs-main-column">

            //Sections goes here.....
        </div>

    </div>
</div>

I tried adding style="overflow-y: auto !important;" to the <nav class="col-sm-3 scrollspy hidden-xs hidden-sm" id="docs-menu-column" but that did not work.

How can I correctly add a scroll bar vertically to the nav on the left if the screen is not high enough to show the entire affix menu?

I think the problem is that even though you're giving it directive to scroll, there's nothing limiting the height. Try this:

height: 100vh;
overflow-y: scroll;
