How do I get overflow:scroll as in Template:Inputbox
[edit]See example at Template:Inputbox#Examples
{{Inputbox|width=20%|overflow=scroll|This is gonna be too large for me, ouch! ouch! ouch!}}
This is gonna be too large for me, ouch! ouch! ouch!
Adding style=overflow:scroll; does not seem to work with Template:Search box:
{{search box |root=Wikipedia:FAQ |search-button-label=Search the FAQ|style=overflow:scroll;}}
