CSS how to make scrollable list

I am trying to create a webpage which is made up of a header and bellow the header a list of items. I want the list of items to be vertically scrollable. I also would like the webpage to take up the entire window but not be bigger. Currently my problem is the list of items is not scrollable and instead extends far below the bottom of the window and this is causing the window to be scrollable. What should the CSS properties be on the html, body, header and list items?

doctype html
html
    head
        link(href="css/style.css" rel="stylesheet")
    body
        div#wrapper
            h1 Interactive Contact Directory
            div(class="tools")
                |Search: 
                br
                input(type="text" id="searchBox")
                select(name="searchBy" id="searchBy")
                    option(value='firstname') First Name
                    option(value='lastname') Last Name
                    option(value='email') Email
                br
                br
            div(id="listingHolder")
                ul(id="listing")
            div(id="listingView")

Bellow is the current style sheet I have

html{
    height: 100%;
}
body {
    background:#121212;
    margin:0px;
    padding:0px;
    font-family:"Open Sans", sans-serif;
    height: 100%;
}
#wrapper {
    max-height: 100%;
}
h1 {
    margin:0px;
    color:#fff;
    padding:20px;
    text-align:center;
    font-weight:100;
}
.tools {
    text-align:center;
    color:#fff;
}
#searchBox {
    padding:7px;
    border:none;
    border-radius:5px;
    font-size:1.2em;
}
a.filter {
    display:inline-block;
    padding:5px 10px;
    margin:5px;
    background:#0472C0;
    color:#fff;
    text-decoration:none;
    border-radius:3px;
}
a.filter:hover {
    background:#0B9DE0;
    color:#fff;
}
ul#listing {
    list-style:none;
    padding:0px;
    margin:0px;
    background:#fff;
    width:100%;
}
ul#listing li {
    list-style:none;
    border-bottom:1px solid #eee;
    display:block;
}
ul#listing li .list-header {
    padding:10px;
    cursor:pointer;
    display:block;
}

ul#listing li .list-header:hover {
    background:#7893AB;
    color:#fff;
}
ul#listing li .list-header.active {
    background:#447BAB;
    color:#fff;
}
ul#listing li .details {
    display:none;
    background:#efefef;
    padding:20px;
    font-size:0.9em;
}
#listingHolder{
    width: 50%;
    overflow: scroll;
}

Another solution would be as below where the list is placed under a drop-down button.

  <button class="btn dropdown-toggle btn-primary btn-sm" data-toggle="dropdown"
    >Markets<span class="caret"></span></button>

    <ul class="dropdown-menu", style="height:40%; overflow:hidden; overflow-y:scroll;">
      {{ form.markets }}
    </ul>

As per your question vertical listing have a scrollbar effect.

CSS / HTML : 

nav ul{height:200px; width:18%;}
nav ul{overflow:hidden; overflow-y:scroll;}
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <meta charset="utf-8">
        <title>JS Bin</title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <header>header area</header>
        <nav>
            <ul>
                <li>Link 1</li>
                <li>Link 2</li>
                <li>Link 3</li>
                <li>Link 4</li>
                <li>Link 5</li>
                <li>Link 6</li> 
                <li>Link 7</li> 
                <li>Link 8</li>
                <li>Link 9</li>
                <li>Link 10</li>
                <li>Link 11</li>
                <li>Link 13</li>
                <li>Link 13</li>

            </ul>
        </nav>
        
        <footer>footer area</footer>
    </body>
</html>
