I would like the scroll bar to be placed above the content, and not make it stand next to it.
In the attached image, you can see what it is doing with the red scroll bar now ... it creates a vertical gutter that pushes the content to the side.
But what I want to do is what is below ... there is a scroll bar located above the content.
I tried absolutely positioning .jspVerticalBar, but I could not get rid of the gutter.

EDIT: Here's the jsFiddle problem: http://jsfiddle.net/8Mebt/3/ - As you can see, there is still a space in the far right corner and the "selected" state of the item does not propagate the way I want.
