.ticker {
  height: something;
  width: something;
  margin: something;  /*  maybe  */
  overflow: scroll;
}

The overflow attribute may need some tweaking, but that should get you the 
desired results.

An examination of the same property as described over at MSDN might also 
be useful.

As for placing it on the canvas where needed, that's more a question of
your needs; could be use of floats, or absolute positioning, or relative
positioning, but you're the better judge of which approach to take.  If,
for example, you're irrevocably stuck with describing the entire layout in
a table, then you'll want to use absolute positioning for the widget at
issue.
