How to layout / structure a page with a long sidebar but a short content section?
Basically, I have a data table in the main content area and a filter section on the sidebar. The filter on the left serves as a filter for the data that would appear in the data table.
Now, each of these filter category can be quite long hence most of them would require a scrollbar as shown. And I can have about 6-7 of these filter categories so you can see that the left sidebar can be very long while the main content area can be very short (e.g. just 1 row).
What I am thinking as a solution is to add another scrollbar for the sidebar. However, it would look like there's already so many scrollbars as the actual page itself may also have a scrollbar (if the data table list gets long).
Is there a better way to handle this?
