I did a lot of research about this topic and didn\'t yet find a satisfying answer:
How can I make a scrollable list (iPhone SDK Dashboard List) inside some other html co
there is yet another possibility, with slightly nicer scrolling simulation: http://cubiq.org/scrolling-div-on-iphone-ipod-touch/5
Ok, after consulting some friends, I found the answer to this question:

have fun.
http://cubiq.org/scrolling-div-on-iphone-ipod-touch/5 this is a really great script!! It's smaller than the doctyper version and easier to work with since it doesn't have so many elements being repositioned. It also allows contained elements to be touched easier by the user. and even cooler, when you touch into a text field and the close the type panel the divs being positioned by this script snap right back into place (where as the doctyper version just has them floating out of place after the type screen retracts).
A very nice script.
A new scrolling library to keep an eye on: Scrollability.
